University of California

Program in Classics

http://www.hnet.uci.edu/classics/Tricampus/

What is the UC Tri‐Campus Program?

Inaugurated in 1998, this innovative program

brings together faculty members in Classics

and related disciplines from the three

southernmost University of California

campuses (Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego).

The Tri-Campus Program, housed on the

Irvine campus, features a rich curriculum

and program of study that unites the main

currents of modern literary, cultural, and

historical theory with the traditional skills

and methodologies of classical philology.

The Tri-Campus Program is uniquely

designed to provide an educational

environment for pursuing a graduate career

in Classics that is closely integrated into

contemporary scholarship, critical theory,

and interdisciplinary study. The Program's

faculty recognizes that today and in the

future teachers of the Classics must possess

and develop expertise beyond the standard

specialties of the traditional Classics Ph.D.

degree.

To achieve these goals, the Program and

curriculum are designed around five

principles:

Study the ancient texts and objects in

their wider social, cultural, and historical

contexts.

Bring the cultures of Greece and Rome

into the purview of contemporary literary

and cultural theory, visual studies,

philosophy and history.

Examine the reception and appropriation

of antiquity over time, beginning with

antiquity itself, from Homer to

Byzantium and into the modern world.

Pay particular attention to contact zones

between Greece and Rome and with the

other cultures of the ancient

Mediterranean.

Utilize the potentials of new digital

technologies as tools for research and

teaching.

Funding

Your application for the Tri-Campus Graduate Program is your application for school

fellowships. All UCI Tri-Campus students are guaranteed at least five years of funding.

The funding packages generally consist of one or two years of fellowship support

combined with three or four years of teaching assistantships. The University of

California also offers Diversity Fellowships with similar awards.

Both the School of Humanities and UCI Graduate Division offer several other funding

opportunities throughout the academic year: school and campus-wide fellowship

competitions, conference travel awards, departmental awards, summer funding for

language study programs, and teaching awards.

Location

UC Irvine is located three miles inland from

the Pacific Ocean, fifty miles south of

metropolitan Los Angeles, forty-five miles

southwest of UC Riverside and seventy miles

north of UC San Diego. In addition to its

beaches, mountains and deserts, Southern

California offers a wide variety of cultural

amenities (museums, theater, film, music,

opera, dance, and literary events), many of

which are available on our three campuses.

Outstanding library holdings in Classics and related fields in the combined collections of all nine University of California research libraries, access to the holdings of the California Digital Library, and expeditious Interlibrary Loan Services with other U.S. and international libraries.

The facilities of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) at UC Irvine, including the complete TLG collection, and the large collection of primary texts, commentaries, and reference materials housed in the TLG's Marianne Eirene McDonald Library.

Combined UCI-UCSD Ph.D. program in theater, which has a strong Classics component, and the nationally renowned regional theatre at La Jolla.

Renowned programs in Classics and Ancient History at UCR, including graduate training in Ancient History.

Seminars, colloquia, and lectures regularly offered by the Critical Theory Institute at UC Irvine and by the University of California Humanities Research Institute that is housed on the UC Irvine campus. Tri‐Campus doctoral students may add an emphasis in Critical Theory under the supervision of the Committee on Comparative Literature and Critical Theory. The Tri-Campus Program also has its own series of lectures and colloquia by visiting scholars on the three campuses.

The Southern California Graduate Resource‐Sharing Consortium, a cooperative association of the Tri‐Campus Program and the graduate Classics programs of UC Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. A faculty member from one of these programs may offer a graduate seminar in his/her area of expertise at one of the other institutions.
