From its earliest days, Bryn Mawr has had an international reputation in classical languages. It was among the first institutions to offer doctorates in classical philology to women in the United States. The department is part of the Graduate Group in Archaeology, Classics, and History of Art, which provides a forum for interdisciplinary collaboration and research and promotes a strong scholarly community among the graduate students in the three programs. In addition to seminars at Bryn Mawr, students may take classes at the nearby University of Pennsylvania through a reciprocal agreement, and, by special arrangement, at Princeton University and other institutions in the area. The Classics graduate students annually organize the Agnes Michels Lecture, selecting a speaker to give a public lecture and hold a seminar for the students. In support of its commitment to studying literary and historical texts in their cultural as well as material contexts, the department offers two fellowships each year toward summer study in Italy or Greece, preferably at the American Academy in Rome or the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. The fellowships are normally reserved for students who will complete the M.A. degree in the academic year preceding the summer in which they plan to go abroad. The department also offers the Berthe M. Marti Fellowship in affiliation with the American Academy in Rome to enable advanced graduate students to study and carry out research in Rome in the fields of early, classical, and medieval Latin, Latin paleography, Latin textual criticism, or some combination thereof. The Fellowship alternates between Bryn Mawr College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
