Classical Studies (Advanced Major)

The Department of Classics is devoted to the study of the ancient Mediterranean civilizations of Greece and Rome which stand at the beginning of the history and culture of the whole of Western civilization.The vast scope of Classics is therefore defined by the chronological and geographical boundaries of those two early civilzations but it includes, or overlaps with, many disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. This means that a wide variety of subjects and methods of investigation come within the experience of students who pursue the study of the Classical world.

Field of study: Classical, Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies and Archaeology
