Course choices will be made with the advice and consent of the Director of Graduate Studies. Students are expected to take at least one Greek and at least one Latin course per semester, and a minimum of six courses in ancient history and archaeology (per year at least one Greek history/archaeology course and at least one Roman history/archaeology course).  Taking courses outside the department is permitted and encouraged, with the following stipulations:  courses not obviously pertaining to classical studies are permissible only after students pass both Greek and Latin Reading List exams, and all choices must be approved by the DGS.  Further, the student must be making satisfactory progress toward a Duke degree in Classical Studies.
