Program Purpose
Classical Studies examine ancient Greek and Roman cultures -- their languagues, literature, history, religion, art, and philosophy. The major offers essential knowledge of philology, ancient history, archaeology, biblical studies, and the literary tradition of Western Europe, as well as traditional grounding in the Classics. Students acquire important foreign-language study skills that include careful reading, thoughtful writing, and persuasive speaking. Latin is the mother language not only of Italian, French, and Spanish, but in a real sense of English as well. Its study also enhances one's understanding of English vocabulary, grammar, and rhetorical structure. The Classical Studies major prepares students for graduate-level work in Latin, Greek, ancient history, biblical studies, comparative literature and other humanistic disciplines. It is also a rigorous and detailed preparation for professional schools (especially law and medicine) and for teaching in public and private schools or for employment in business, government, technology, tourism, and civil or foreign service.
