The master's program in Classics at Tufts is designed for students who wish to go beyond the bachelor's level to attain a broader and deeper knowledge of the classics for one or more of the following purposes: teaching background, further graduate study, or cultural enrichment.

With its strong language component, faculty strength in literature, history, archaeology, and access to computer applications, this program particularly suits those who want either to consolidate and improve their language, research, and teachings skills in preparation for a Ph.D. degree at another institution or to teach classics at the secondary level.
