Post-Baccalaureate Certificate
Description
This certificate is designed for students who have a B.A. but, for whatever reason, do not have enough Latin and/or Greek to continue on in graduate school, seminary, or other programs.
Admission is through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students in the Post-Baccalaureate program will take 3 courses a semester from the graduate or undergraduate classes offered at The University of Iowa. Required courses will vary according to the student's educational background. Post-Baccalaureate students will have their own advisor who will supervise the one non-credit course specifically for the Post-Baccalaureate.
The Post-Baccalaureate is intended as a one-year program during which students will strengthen their skills in the classical languages in a way that is appropriate for the student's goals, and will receive guidance in preparing a writing sample for submission to graduate school. Students may continue beyond one year if this is deemed appropriate by the faculty.
Tuition
Tuition and fees for the Post-Baccalaureate program will be the same as undergraduate resident or non-resident tuition. No aid can be offered, but students may apply for work-study and for financial aid and loans through the University.
