Colleges for classics

<p>My question was trying to get at how the consortium operates and how interconnected the departments of the two schools were. On CC whenever classics comes up, people often write “Bryn Mawr/Haverford,” as if to imply they function as a unit. I wondered if they shared professors or if they had division of labor such that each school took charge of certain aspects of the program (like one did the more linguistic aspects and the other more culture) such that no matter which school you were at, classics majors would have to take classes at the other also.</p>

<p>Furthermore, their education departments seem linked in the same way. I looked into that too, since D is considering becoming a Latin teacher. On the Bryn Mawr website they actually call it “The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Education Program.” Notice the hyphen.</p>

<p>D would probably prefer a co-e school, and Haverford’s team in her sport is far better. So I just wanted to know if it mattered which school she actually made home base.</p>

<p>“So I just wanted to know if it mattered which school she actually made home base.”</p>

<p>Academically, no, it does not matter. Students at both can major in either department and sample whichever courses they like from each.</p>

<p>holy cross has very good classics department and does offer a few merit scholarships.</p>

<p>I’m a freshman at Tufts majoring in Greek and Latin, so I was in the same boat as you last year.</p>

<p>Some universities to consider in the Northeast are:</p>

<p>Tufts
Harvard
Boston U
Yale
Brown
Columbia</p>

<p>I know it’s a lot of reach schools, but the best departments are at the best universities. You have better grades than I did and I got into Tufts, so who knows! BU and Tufts are not too high a reach for you, BU could even be a match school.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
