Fulfill Core Requirements
Classics courses are very diverse because of the multi-disciplinary nature of our studies. Courses in Classics touch on language, art and architecture, culture, history, social science, and a host of other topics. They look into every aspect of the Greek and Roman world and beyond. Indeed many other disciplines look to the Classics of Greece and Rome for inspiration and a source of ideas. As such, Classics courses are a perfect way to fulfill College Core requirements.

Academic Program
The Major in Classics focuses on mastering the classical languages and thereby engaging ancient literary works directly. The close attention given to Greek and Latin texts develops in the Classics major an ability to think critically, examine and weigh words carefully, and communicate effectively. Our graduates often pursue advanced degrees in Classics, Ancient History or Archaeology, some go on to related fields in the liberal arts, or attend professional schools in law or medicine.
