REQUIREMENTS
1) Applicants will usually have completed the
equivalent of an undergraduate Classics major or
Ancient Art or Archaeology major with intermediate
levels in Latin or Greek in both languages.
2) The candidate must successfully complete nine
graduate courses (credits) as follows:
a. three graduate courses in Latin or Greek;
b. three graduate courses in art and archaeology
(Tufts currently alternates courses yearly
between concentrations on Greece and Rome);
c. one graduate course in ancient history;
d. and a two-credit thesis or two additional
courses.
In addition both fieldwork and laboratory work are
requirements, either as documented past experience
or to be fulfilled during completion of the master’s
degree.
3) Reading knowledge of Latin or Greek and one
modern foreign language (usually German, French
or Italian) is tested by examination.
4) To demonstrate research and presentation, the
candidate may submit for evaluation by a faculty
committee either two papers (written for courses at
Tufts and revised as necessary after completion of
the course) or a thesis. The thesis normally counts
as two of the required nine courses.
5) A comprehensive written examination integrating
course work with a general knowledge of
classical archaeology is required, as well as an oral
examination based primarily on the papers or thesis.
6) Residency for the equivalent of one academic
year is required. The degree may be earned on a
part-time basis through courses offered by the
department during the regular academic year and
through summer school courses. No degree is
granted on the basis of summer school work only.
7) Candidates accepting assistantships (i.e. work in
the department) should anticipate a more extended
time schedule; furthermore, students usually find
that writing a thesis takes a full term of uninterrupted
work.

Director:
Matthias Scheutz, Computer Science
A joint Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences is offered
through the departments of Child Development,
Computer Science and Psychology. Prospective
students apply to one of the departments participating
in the cognitive science Ph.D. program and
indicate in their application their intention to apply
to the joint program. Once admitted to the
program, students will have to complete the Ph.D.
requirements of their home department as well as
those of the Cognitive Science program, and their
research will have to be in the intersection of a field
in their home department and cognitive science.
