Good schools for Classics and Linguistics

<p>Those are my two intended college majors, and although I pretty much already have a list of schools, I'd like to know if there are any other colleges that have strong departments in those areas. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the information :)</p>

<p>“Any other colleges” besides which ones? There is no point in us recreating the list you have already identified.</p>

<p>Right… I have Harvard, Columbia, MIT (this is moreso for their linguistics program), Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UBC in Canada. As you can see, I really need more matches/safeties…</p>

<p>In the NRC-95 graduate department rankings, the schools that came out in the top 10 for both classics and linguistics were Berkeley, Chicago, and UCLA. </p>

<p>If you are female, Bryn Mawr might be a good match choice for its strong classics program. You could take linguistics courses at Penn (which has top-notch linguistics and also a solid classics department).</p>

<p>Oxford and Cambridge (in the UK) are the best choices for undergraduate classics.</p>

<p>fledge – I agree with TK – and say UCLA of the three. The great thing about less popular majors at UCLA is that beyond the first two intro courses, the classes get small quickly. You will know about half the professors in both Departments by the time you graduate.</p>

I second this. UCLA recently plundered Harvard, UNC, and a couple other schools for absolute superstars in Indo-European linguistics. For a combination of classics and linguistics, you can’t really beat UCLA.</p>

<p>Arizona would be worth a look as a safety if you’re a NMF. It’s very strong in both classics and linguistics and also has a stellar anthropology program.</p>
