Classics

Classics programs focus on the languages, literature and material cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. The two cultures are considered for their formative role at the beginnings of western civilization and for their continuing influence on modern civilization. Although courses, and entire programs, are available to students without any Latin or Greek, those intending to pursue specialist studies in any field of classical studies are urged to begin study of the languages as early as possible. The department, through academic staff members with expertise in art history and archaeology, offers a variety of opportunities for travel courses and fieldwork overseas.
