UOttawa reopens admissions to Greek and Roman program after international outreach

The University of Ottawa has reopened admissions to its Honours BA in Greek and Roman Studies. Earlier this Fall, the university announced that it was pausing admissions and engaging in an overhaul of the program, citing low enrolment. UOttawa Department of Classics and Religious Studies Chair Dominique Côté explained that the decision to resume admission was influenced by bilingualism rules. He also noted the international attention to the program in the form of a petition, which received over 4,000 signatures, and letters from around the world calling for its preservation.
