Classics
Students who major in Classics study and analyze the languages and cultures of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Their investigations promote an improved understanding of these civilizations’ cultural, intellectual, professional, and civic lives — as well as our own. Through interactive language classes, specialized courses on topics ranging from STEM to status in the ancient world, and affordable study abroad opportunities, they develop advanced proficiency in the languages, literatures and cultures of both ancient Greece and ancient Rome. They cultivate skills in innovative analysis, creative and collaborative problem solving, and outstanding, persuasive communication, enabling them to pursue careers in a variety of fields such as education, law, journalism, business and entrepreneurship, and health sciences. This degree also provides excellent preparation for the study of the ancient world at the graduate level.
