Resources of the Tri-Campus Program.

The Department of Classics at UC Irvine, which is the administrative center of the Tri-Campus Program, is housed in pleasant quarters in Humanities Office Building 2. Tri-Campus graduate students avail themselves of:

  • Superior 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 Project (TLG) at UC Irvine, including the complete TLG collection, the Classics/TLG Computing Lab, and the large collection of primary texts, commentaries, and reference materials housed in the TLG's Marianne Eirene McDonald Library. Formal (Classics 201) and informal instruction in computer-related methodologies for research and teaching are conducted at the Classics/TLG Computing Lab.
  • The faculty and program in Comparative Ancient Civilizations at UC Riverside, which are dedicated to a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary approach to the study of ancient cultures.
  • Combined UCI-UCSD Ph.D. program in theater, which has a strong Classics component, and the nationally renowned regional theatre at La Jolla.
  • 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 Critical Theory. The Tri-Campus Program also has its own colloquia series of lectures 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. Every year a faculty member from each of these units offers a graduate seminar in his/her area of expertise at one of the other units. In the Spring of every year faculty and graduate students conjoin at an annual Consortium luncheon and lecture by a distinguished visiting scholar.
