C. Coursework and Requirements


Each semester, students are required to file each semester a list of courses that they propose to take during
that semester. The appropriate form is available from the SAO. The list must be approved and signed by
each member of the student’s Advisory Committee and the Graduate Advisor, and then returned to the SAO
for placement in the student’s file.

There is no prescribed course of study for the AHMA program and work is tailored to suit the interests and
goals of the individual student, who should choose his or her courses in consultation and agreement with
the Advisory Committee. Work in the ancient languages is an early and high priority, however, and students
should plan to continue course work in languages already begun. Those who begin an ancient language
after admission should plan to study that language continuously for at least their first two years in the
program. In addition, students are expected to enroll in courses and seminars relevant to their developing
areas of interest as they move through the program. Independent study courses (AHMA 299), Individual
Study for MA students (CLAS 601), and Individual Study for Doctoral Students (CLAS 602) with
individual faculty members may be arranged where necessary and appropriate.
