Department of Classics

WHAT WE DO

Study all aspects of the ancient Mediterranean world, including ancient languages, literatures, history, art, and archaeology.

Studying Classics

Classics majors gain a complex view of the ancient Mediterranean world and explore their own world as they do so. They address questions of human and historical significance through the works of the Greeks and Romans; understand the modern cultural world by recognizing its roots in the past; know their own language better by learning Greek or Latin; explore the world through study abroad; and strengthen their ability to read, communicate, observe, and think analytically.
