Ancient Language Teaching and Graduate Reading Groups

Boston College offers coursework and hosts reading groups in the languages of the Bible, Church Fathers (Patristic Texts), ancient Greece and Rome both for graduate and undergraduate students. Anyone interested in studying ancient languages while at BC should consult both their academic advisor and a faculty member teaching the language as soon as possible in order to plan the most beneficial course of study. Courses of study will vary depending on the goals of the student (reading, researching, and/or teaching). Generally, it is advisable to begin language study as early as possible and continue it as consistently as possible.

(Please note: not all courses are taught every year. For example, Intermediate Hebrew at STM is offered every other year in rotation with Theology. Contact the school or department directly for further information.)
