Courses outside of Classics and Archaeology

Policy on courses taken outside of Classics and Archaeology

Classics MA students can seek perÑý¼§Ö±²¥ to take courses outside of the Classics and Archaeology Department to count towards the number of courses required for their degree pattern. PerÑý¼§Ö±²¥ must be granted by their Supervisor (or the Department Head if no Supervisor has been chosen), the Graduate Coordinator, and the course’s Instructor.

The Department's evaluation of whether a course taught outside the Classics and Archaeology Department can be accepted as a substitute for the course will depend on the following criteria:

  1. Whether the subject matter of the course is closely aligned with the subjects taught by our department;
  2. Whether the subject matter of the course is appropriate for an MA degree in one of our two fields (Classics and Archaeology; Classical Studies and Archaeology);
  3. Whether the course is being taught by a member of our graduate faculty (/classics/graduate/prospective-ma-students/graduate-supervision) or is administered jointly with the Classics and Archaeology Department (i.e. RELS 887).

The total number of courses a student can take outside of the Classics and Archaeology Department will be assessed on an individual basis in consultation with the Department's Graduate Committee.
