Classics

Classics is the study of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations - the roots of modern Western society. The origins of democracy - the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and extraordinary achievements in art, literature, and philosophy - took place during this time, and are highlighted by the legacies of great poets and philosophers like Plato, Sophocles, Virgil, and Cicero. If you have a desire to understand our modern world, studying Classics is an ideal way to begin.In The University of WinnipegпПХs Classics program, you may choose to concentrate on classical civilization or study the classical languages. Knowledge of Greek or Latin is not required for the civilization courses. Classics is also an ideal supplement to other programs of study. Since they offer an interdisciplinary approach to the study of an interesting and influential culture, courses in this program provide an excellent background for continued study in medicine, law, education, or theology.
