The following materials are required for consideration to the M.A. in Classical Studies (Bridge M.A.) You should submit all materials by uploading them into your online application. 1. Completed Rackham Application. 2. Three letters of recommendation. Please make sure that you register three recommenders when you fill out the online application even if you don’t yet know who the third will be. If you only enter one or two and click submit you will be unable to go in the ApplyWeb system and enter a third later. We recommend that you enter a placeholder name which you will be able to go in and change in ApplyWeb under Review Your Activity. If you or your recommenders will be submitting letters of recommendation by paper, include this Letter of Recommendation form with your submission. Please have these letters sent directly to the department via US Mail. 3. Statement of Purpose - Briefly explain the nature of your study in Classics or related fields, your primary areas of interest (if known), what studies you would like to pursue in graduate school, and whether there are any Michigan faculty with whom you would especially like to work.

Please include transcripts from institutions from which you received a degree or from which you took courses relevant to your application. (If you decide to have your transcripts mailed to the department rather than upload them, we must receive them by the due date of December 15.
