[2] UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
The MA programme in Classical Studies at the University of Ottawa
(Department of Classics and Religious Studies) is now accepting
applications of qualified students for both September 1997 and January
1998.
The Classics sector of the new Department of Classics and Religious
Studies has been able to enrich its MA programme by coordinating the
exceptional resources available in the Ottawa area. In the Ottawa area, we
have one of the largest groups in North America of scholars working in
various aspects of Late Antiquity and in Medieval Studies.
Our students are expected to know Greek and Latin and to read these
languages fluently. Therefore we place an emphasis on the student's
acquiring facility at reading Greek and Latin. At the same time the choice
of thesis topic can now be much broader and more interdisciplinary than
has been possible in the past.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Students requesting admission must have an Honours BA in Classics or the
equivalent. (This normally means the equivalent of 9 trimester courses in
the one language and 6 in the other.)
We only admit students who would normally qualify for external awards and
to whom we can also award graduate research assistantships.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
CLA 5900: This is a seminar in which all professors associated with the
programme introduce the scholarship of their own specialties.
3 graduate courses
CLA 6998 Greek and Latin Sight Translation Examination
(to be successfully completed within 5 sessions of initial registration)
Thesis topic registration within 2 sessions of initial registration.
Thesis seminar (at which the topic is formally approved by all professors
in the department after study and discussion). This seminar must take
place within 3 sessions of initial registration.
We expect that all candidates admitted to the programme will complete all
of their degree requirements within 18-24 months.

Appendix: Courses offered Sept-Dec 1997 and Jan-Apr 1998
The University of Ottawa, like almost all Canadian universities, is
affected by the massive reorganization of existing resources which is
going on province-wide and nation-wide. Therefore formal course offerings
in 1997/8 will be limited. A protocol has been arranged whereby graduate
courses in certain other sectors will be accepted for credit in the
Classics MA. To have such courses accepted, these students will be
required to read certain texts in the original Greek or Latin, and will be
examined on their knowledge of these texts.
Classics Courses:
Medieval Latin -- Brearley -- Sept-Dec
Etruscan Art and religion -- Kilmer -- Sept-Dec
Graduate courses are expected to be available in:
Religious Studies
Philosophy
Theology
