The Master of Arts (MA) is a first-level graduate degree bestowed on those who undertake studies in the humanities or social sciences to increase knowledge in a specific subject. It follows the undergraduate-level bachelor’s degree and precedes doctoral studies.

What is an MA in Classical Studies? This degree focuses on research and studies of Ancient Greek and Roman literature, culture and language. It may involve ancient Near East studies as well. Coursework can include research methods, Greek and Roman antiquity, Judaism, Christianity and Egypt. Depending on the focus of study, there may be additional courses offered in Latin, Ancient Greek, philosophy, archaeology and history.

Students who pursue an MA in Classical Studies acquire research skills needed for scholarly publications and presentations. They also develop critical thinking skills, which serve them well in and out of academia. Because this type of program places heavy emphasis on written and oral expression, communication skills are also improved.

The expense of this type of program can fluctuate between institutions, with location and program length factoring into the total. Interested students should contact program advisors for more information. Programs may last between one and three years.

Graduates of an MA in Classical Studies program may pursue doctorate-level studies after earning the degree. They often become researchers, scholars, lecturers and professors at the university level. They may also take teaching positions in secondary schools or community colleges, become journalists or editors for publications or find positions as museum archivists or curators. Archaeological firms often hire consultants and classicists who are trained in this field.
