Classical Languages and Literature

Interpretation of the past through literature, language, history, art and archeology is at the heart of the classics. Students of the classics gain a unique liberal arts background through the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. By reconstructing the values and histories of those ancient societies and examining their philosophical thought, students come to understand many of the traditions and institutions of our culture.
The classics department offers a choice of majors and a minor. In classical languages and literatures, a student specializes in ancient languages and literatures. The classical civilization major combines the study of Greek and/or Latin with courses in classical civilization. A minor is offered in classical civilization.
