Celtic Studies

Celtic Studies is a broad field that has as its core the languages, literatures, and histories of Celtic-speaking peoples, from the Continental Celts of ancient Gaul to the modern survivals in Scotland, Ireland, the island of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. The discipline of Celtic Studies extends into a wide range of topics, including archaeology, art, music, literature, folklore, religion, dance, immigration, and ethnic studies.StFX is one of the few universities offering the study of Celtic languages and the literature and history of the Celts from about 800 BC to the present. Celtic courses may be chosen as electives. StFX is the only university in North America offering four years of Scottish Gaelic.
