Classics (University of Toronto) – PhD
History (York University) – PhD

Overview

The Department of Classics at the University of Toronto and the Graduate Program in History at York University participate in the Joint Collaborative Program in Ancient Greek and Roman History. The program in History provides a broad historical context and methodological framework; Classics provides integration with other fields of study within the ancient world and access to linguistic, cultural, and ancillary disciplines. The program operates only at the doctoral level.

Students are enrolled in one of the two units. The program is administered by a Program Committee of four faculty members, two from each unit, one of whom is the Director. The two units contribute courses and provide facilities and supervision for research. Successful completion of the program permits the designation "Completed Joint Collaborative Doctoral Program in Ancient Greek and Roman History" to appear on the student's transcript.

Interested students should contact the director of the joint collaborative program as well as the graduate coordinator of the unit in which they intend to register.

  • Applicants must meet the admissions criteria of the unit through which they wish to enrol. Interested students register in the joint collaborative program with the approval of the Program Committee upon admission to the PhD program in either unit.
  • A strong background in ancient history will be expected of all interested applicants, as will a level of preparation in the ancient languages and languages of research that is appropriate for the institution in which they register.
