Overview

The classics coursework in the first three years of the program will provide deep knowledge of the classics making students content experts. In addition, select education courses that include experiential components give students opportunity to experience the nuances of the profession.

The graduate portion of the program will continue to build understanding of classics as well as providing the skills to become an effective teacher. The final year in the program includes a one-year residency that allows students to co-teach alongside an expert Latin teacher.

At the end of this program, successful students will receive recommendation for New York State Initial and Professional Teacher Certification.
