Classical Studies Major

The program in classical studies embodies a tradition in learning and human understanding that began in the ancient world and became the core of liberal arts education. It also reflects intellectual and methodological developments that make the field exciting and relevant today – not only for majors and minors, but also for students fulfilling general education requirements. In addition to language classes, the program offers a broad selection of courses in literature, philosophy, history, theatre, art, and archaeology.
