Entry requirement for international students

Student should have a bachelor's degree in Classics (or one in History combined with substantial study of Greek and Latin) represents the best preparation for the study of Ancient History, which is here understood to mean Greek history from the Mycenaean period to Roman times, and Roman history from the beginnings to late antiquity. Students applying to study Ancient History in the Department of the Classics must have competence in both Greek and Latin sufficient to take departmental courses numbered above 100 ("upper-level courses") in one of these languages (the "major language"), and above the beginning level in the other (the "minor language"). However, they will be tested equally in both Greek and Latin, normally by the end of the second year (see General Examinations (1)). Those wishing to study Ancient History at Harvard with less emphasis on languages and texts, and more on other fields of history such as Medieval or Byzantine, should note that the Department of History also offers Ancient History as a field in its PhD program.
