What does a Post-Bac student’s schedule look like?
All Post-Bac students are required to take one Latin and one Greek
course per semester. Most students take the Post-Bac seminars, which
meet one, two, or three times per week for a total of 2-3 hours of
class time. Some students, after consulting with the Post-Bac director,
instead register for elementary or intermediate Latin and/or Greek. In
addition, Post-Bac students are asked to keep Wednesday lunchtimes open
for our noncredit proseminar series, in which faculty members and
current graduate students meet with Post-Bac students to talk about
their research, their path towards their current position, and give
advice about graduate school and careers. Students are encouraged to
attend as many outside lectures as possible; the Classical Studies
department holds a weekly series on Thursday afternoons, and the Center
for Ancient Studies has a Friday lunchtime series. Finally, some
students opt to take extra class(es); see above.
