Postbaccalaureate Classics Program

Faculty

Columbia’s Department of Classics is the center of an exceptionally strong array of faculty specializing in antiquity; to its core faculty in Greek and Latin languages and literature, it adds those in history, art history and archaeology, religion, and comparative literature.

The graduate programs in classics and classical studies have about 30 students in residence in any one year, with an additional, approximately equal, number of students from other departments and from Union Theological Seminary.

The full faculty of the Department (15 persons) will be available through regular courses and individual tutorial direction. Those specifically responsible for the program in 2000-2001 will be the following:

Gareth Williams, the director of the program for 2000-2001, is professor of classics and chair of the department.

Jerise Fogel, professor of Latin, will teach the special reading course in Latin.

Elizabeth Scharffenberger, professor of classics, will teach the special reading course in Greek.
