CUNY Classics offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Greek and Roman classics, with rigorous training in Latin and ancient Greek. Within the Ph.D. program, students may choose to specialize in Classical Philology or in Ancient History. Seven-nine courses are available each semester through a consortium with Fordham and New York Universities, covering a variety of subjects in Greek and Latin literature, ancient history, and philosophy ranging from masters level surveys and composition courses to research seminars at the Ph.D. level.

Students may register for courses offered in the field at any of the participating institutions and have access to all libraries at the three institutions. Students are also invited to attend lectures at the three universities as well as consortium sponsored events. Through these meetings, CUNY students have many opportunties to exchange ideas informally with other graduate students and classics faculty from throughout the city.

Courses of related interest are also available through the CUNY Ph.D. Programs in Philosophy, Comparative Literature and History, and the Certificate Programs in Medieval Studies and Renaissance Studies.
