FACULTY

The Classics FACULTY at The University of Texas is one of the largest and most versatile in the country. Their interests encompass the whole spectrum of knowledge and approaches to classical antiquity and its contribution to western civilization. Visiting professors and lecturers, colloquia and special programs further challenge the faculty and students in Classics with current scholarship and criticism.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

The Department strives to foster a close association between its full-time faculty of 25, including four tenured women, and the approximately 35 GRADUATE STUDENTS in residence. Presently a good number of our grad students received fellowships to study abroad. In 1995-96, our graduate students included graduates of institutions such as Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Oberlin, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Columbia, New York University, Brown, Duke, Stanford, Ohio State, Johns Hopkins, Minnesota, Rice, California (Santa Cruz), and the University of Rethymno (Crete). In addition to the students in residence, UT Classics has a good number of STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD on fellowship, and this sort of exposure to a variety of different scholars and research environments can be an integral component of the graduate program at UT.

ALUMNI STAFF UT classics ALUMNI go on to teaching both in the university and in the secondary levels. Administrative and supporting STAFF MEMBERS are crucial to the operation of this Department.
