Since teaching is an important part of graduate training, each student in the AHMA program will normally
serve several times as an instructor. AHMA students are eligible to compete for Graduate Student
Instructorships (GSI-ships) in the departments of Classics, History, Near Eastern Studies, History of Art,
and Anthropology, depending upon their particular qualifications, and for the Western Civilization classes
under Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Studies (UGIS). You should apply directly to the department or
program in question to compete for appointments. GSI-ships are rarely awarded in the first year of graduate
study.
Before teaching begins, all students must clear from their record any Incomplete grades that are more than
a year old. The Graduate Division has its own requirements governing students who are beginning their
first GSI appointment. Graduate students are expected to read these requirements carefully and adhere to
them fully. AHMA students may complete the required 375 course (introduction to pedagogy) in Classics,
History, History of Art, or Near Eastern Studies, and must do so in the fall semester of the year when they
first serve as a GSI.
