Classics, M.A.
专业详情
The Bridge M.A. Program and Fellowship is designed to advance the field’s commitment to equity and access in the graduate study of Classics. The fellowship is specifically tailored for students with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly potential and have experienced barriers to accessing opportunities that would prepare them for immediate entry into a doctoral program.
The Field of Classics awards one Bridge M.A. Fellowship each application cycle. This award covers tuition, health insurance, and a living stipend for two semesters and two summers; housing on campus will also be provided for the first six weeks of the initial summer. Recipients who remain in good academic standing in the field will thus receive the award for a total of one academic year and two summers. The Bridge M.A. Fellows will also receive intensive mentoring from faculty and Ph.D. students as the fellow works to develop their independent research project for their M.A. degree.
Applications are invited from current seniors scheduled to complete in the spring as well as from recent graduates.
Within the Personal Statement, applicants interested in being considered for the Bridge M.A. fellowship should provide details on barriers they have encountered that have limited or complicated their access to advanced studies in Classics as well as lessons learned from any of their lived experiences including but not limited to:
