This is an interdisciplinary graduate program. Although our degrees are awarded within the School of Arts and Sciences, our students take courses in a range of Schools and Departments – drawing upon historical, linguistic, literary, philosophical, and theological disciplines and methods.
I.A compulsory course, ECST 600, “Introduction to Early Christian Studies.”
This course does not have to be taken at the beginning of a student’s career. If it is unavailable prior to a student’s Comprehensive Examination, either the requirement will be waived and another course substituted, or another course will be specified as compulsory, at the discretion of the Director.
II.Nine other graduate courses approved by the Director or his deputy and by the student's advisor. The nine courses (taken as a whole) must
a)be drawn from at least two Schools or Departments,
b)involve substantial reading of Patristic texts in at least two of the original languages,
c)include at least one course, in each of those languages, taught in a language Department,
d)require (in at least four of the courses) a paper or papers based on research that demands the linguistic ability
implied in b) and c), and
e)represent at least two of the academic disciplines listed in the preamble to this curriculum.
III.A modern language requirement: demonstrated reading knowledge of either German or French or Italian. The student must pass an examination administered or approved by the Center, prior to taking the Comprehensive Examination.

V.Two substantial research papers, graded by the faculty member(s) for whom they were originally written, and reviewed by one other faculty member designated by the Director or his deputy.
