Why study Classics?

 The classics program offers a major in classics which allows concentration in Greek or Latin languages or Classical Studies. Minors are offered in Greek, Latin, or Classical Studies. The program offers courses in Greek and Latin; courses in translation (CLAS); and courses in the departments of art history, comparative literature, history, philosophy, and religious studies to provide a variety of enhancements to the study of literature and language of the ancient world. Adjunct faculty include Erin Roberts (Religious Studies); Adam Schor (History) and Heike Sefrin-Weis (Philosophy).

Classical Studies as a Cognate

Undergraduates may select a cognate program in Classical Studies without necessarily taking either Greek or Latin; this option is particularly attractive to students in the liberal arts. The cognate consists of 12 hours selected from the courses listed below, with the following restriction: a student may not count toward a cognate in Classical Studies any course offered by the department in which the student is majoring.
