Student Resources
Overseas Programs
Inquire with the department about overseas programs. In the past, UMass Boston students have attended programs abroad in Greece and Italy.
Websites
The following web sites are among the most important for classics students:
- American Classical League: primarily assists pre-collegiate teachers, and has an important listing of available Latin teaching positions.
- Boston Area Classics Calendar: which is on the web site of the Harvard Classics Department, lists all lectures pertaining to classical antiquity
- Stoa Consortium: hosts a number of very important web sites, such as Diotima (devoted to women in Greece and Rome), Demos (with material on the Athenian democracy), as well as links to other sites and blogs.
- Perseus Project has a large collection of electronic texts and images.
- Bryn Mawr Classical Review gives you access to reviews of books on every aspect of classical antiquity.
- National Committee for Latin and Greek, with some amusing and informative material about the study of classics.
- American Philological Association, the national organization of college and university-level classicists.
- Classical Association of New England, the regional organization for teachers of Latin and Greek at all levels.
Honors and Academic Distinction
Besides the opportunities offered by the Honors College, and the awarding of the university's honors designations, the college recognizes academic achievement in several other ways:
- Students who achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.50 for nine or more graded credits (no incompletes) in a semester are named to the Dean's List.
- Most major departments in the college have special provisions for Senior Honors, ordinarily based on some combination of research, a directed thesis or project, and an honors seminar. Each year the college recognizes seniors who achieve academic distinction in majors and programs and also awards a number of named prizes at an Honors Convocation.
- The college elects students to membership in Alpha Kappa Delta, the National Honorary Society in Sociology; Omicron Delta Epsilon, the National Honorary Society in Economics; Phi Alpha Theta, the National Honorary Society in History; Sigma Pi Sigma, the National Honorary Society in Physics, and Psi Chi, the National Honorary Society in Psychology.
