Classics

By encountering the ancients on their own terms, we can better understand their worlds and their influence on ours.

Classical Studies offers students an introduction to the worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome. Courses in Latin and Greek not only develop a student’s reading knowledge in these languages but examine the cultural contexts of the literature, art, and archaeology we study. By encountering the ancients on their own terms, we can better understand their worlds and their influence on ours. Classical Studies is the traditional basis of a liberal arts education and a minor in Classical Studies enhances a student’s ability and skills in interpretation and writing. A student may choose to minor in Classical Studies or Latin.
