Distance Graduate Programs in Classics, MA & PhD

Most teachers cannot afford to leave their jobs, their families, and their homes to pursue graduate degrees. The Department of Classics at the University of Florida has established a post-professional program intended to help teachers of Latin advance their expertise in the discipline by taking graduate-level distance courses during the regular academic year (Fall and Spring) so that they can complete degree requirements while maintaining their local residency and keeping their current employment. To complement the online coursework, the two-week Summer Institute in Latin is held on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville where our distance students benefit from the opportunities that the traditional classroom provides. Through this unique hybrid program, we extend to teachers -- no matter where they reside -- workable paths to earning the M.L., M.A., and the Ph.D in Latin and Classical Studies.

Out-of-state teachers are eligible for a reduced tuition rate. For current UF graduate tuition costs please see: http://fa.ufl.edu/ufs/cashiers/feecalc.asp.

Non-Florida students enrolled in the Department’s distance program pay approximately $20-$30 more per credit hour than in-state students (instead of the out-of-state tuition rate).

General information about our department and its graduate programs is available on the department website: http://www.classics.ufl.edu. If you have general or administrative questions about the distance learning program, please email distance@classics.ufl.edu. If you have specific questions about the distance learning program, please contact Dr. Velvet Yates, Distance Learning Coordinator.
