<p>My D has a passion for Latin and is thinking about majoring in Classical Studies with the thought of teaching in secondary schools. Anyone with experience in or suggestions of where she should apply.</p>
<p>Live in FL
ACT 29
SAT 600,650</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr and Holy Cross come to mind if she is interested in smaller private institutions.</p>
<p>Rutgers, CUNY/Hunter and most large universities are also worth looking into.</p>
<p>[Bryn</a> Mawr College: Greek, Latin & Classical Studies](<a href=“http://www.brynmawr.edu/classics/]Bryn”>Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies)
[Classics</a> | College of the Holy Cross](<a href=“http://www.holycross.edu/academics/classics/]Classics”>http://www.holycross.edu/academics/classics/)
[Rutgers</a> Classics Home](<a href=“Page cannot be found”>http://classics.rutgers.edu/)
[Classics</a> Division](<a href=“http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/classics/classics/]Classics”>Classical Studies — Hunter College)</p>
<p>There is a long list here:</p>
<p>[Undergraduate</a> Programs in Classics](<a href=“http://www.users.drew.edu/jmuccigr/ug.html]Undergraduate”>Undergraduate Programs in Classics)</p>
<p>On a side note, there is a great summer program here

<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>As the link provided by the previous poster indicates, there are many possible programs out there.</p>
<p>Has your D narrowed down her relevant preferences for a school, e.g., small/large school, region of the country, urban/rural/suburban setting, need for financial aid, coed/women’s college, religiously-affiliated or not, etc.?</p>
<p>Some good programs of which I’m aware include Michigan, Cincinnati, Trinity U (TX), Boston U, Indiana, and many more.</p>
<p>Florida State has a decent program as well as a College of Education. If your daughter’s goal is secondary teaching in Florida, they may have a combined program that results in an MEd and certification in 5 years or something similar.</p>
<p>Unless she’s also planning graduate study in Classics, Ancient History, or Classical Archaeology, you don’t have to worry too much about getting into a top program such as Michigan, Harvard or Berkeley. Target universities where she can work on the teaching component simultaneously with the Classics material.</p>
<p>If you can swing it, any kind of summer intensive program will be a huge leg up at the college level - many high schools, while they do a good job with the basics, are pretty weak on grammar and sight reading skills. If your high school academic counselors can’t or won’t dig out the information, just ask here - there are quite a few of us Classics types lurking amid all the engineers.</p>
<p>Incidentally, there’s a more or less comprehensive list of Latin (and a few Greek) teaching jobs maintained here:</p>

<p>The previous poster had a good suggestion about the teaching credential. You might focus on classics depts. that offer a master’s in teaching latin. Possibly, you D could stay on and end up with a master’s, too, from the same program.</p>
<p>Villanova U, Mount Holyoak, Oberlin, all have great classics programs.</p>
