The Cincinnati Classics Department sponsors an internship at the Cincinnati Art Museum, for which graduate students in residence are eligible to apply. The purpose is to provide practical training under the direct supervision of a curator in order to prepare the intern for a career in museum work. The intern receives appropriate graduate credit and a full Semple graduate fellowship. This may include work in foreign universities, libraries or museums, or at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens or the American Academy in Rome, both of which receive support from the University of Cincinnati, or at other American research centers in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Positions as research or teaching assistants in the Department offer the possibility of additional income.
Special grants are also available in support of student researching the summer.
At least 2 years study in Greek and Latin language is normally required for admission to doctoral programs. No entrance examinations are required, but it is strongly recommended that students present with their applications the results of the aptitude and advanced tests of the Graduate Record Examination administered by the Educational Testing Service, Box 55, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The closing date for application for admission to graduate study in Classics is normally February 1 of each year. Prospective students are invited to write, call, or visit the Department of Classics. Your interest will be forwarded to our department.
