Classics

Classics involves the study of ancient cultures, in particular the literature, history and art of the great civilizations of Greece and Rome in the period from about 500 B.C. to A.D. 500. The Department offers courses in many aspects of Greek and Roman life and in a number of related fields such as the Ancient Near East and Egypt. During the Spring and Summer terms, by arrangement with Special Sessions, the Department frequently offers undergraduate and graduate courses in practical archaeology at excavation sites in Italy and Greece.
