Programs
Classics is an academic discipline that focuses on all aspects of the ancient Greek and Roman world, including its influence on the modern world. Classics is extremely diverse, encompassing the history, languages, literatures, arts, politics, philosophies, religions, science, technology, architecture, archaeology, and later reception of the ancient cultures of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean. As such, Classics is inherently multidisciplinary, and has many connections to other academic disciplines. In fact, as the oldest academic discipline, Classics laid the foundations for many others, and still serves as an excellent complement to them.
Much of the work done within Classics could be classified as detective work because comprehension of these ancient civilizations must be assembled from the traces they have left behind. Finding and interpreting these traces is a process that requires meticulous attention to detail and the application of broad general knowledge within a flexible methodological framework.
Major in Classics
A Major in Classics will provide the student with a broad and deep understanding of the civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome and an introduction to one of the classical languages (either Latin or Ancient Greek). Students will be encouraged to explore ancient world-views, literature, art, philosophy, technologies, and social and political institutions, and to think about the continuing legacy of classical civilization in the modern world.
The major program consists of a minimum of 39 credit hours in Classics courses in accordance with the following:
either Classics 1120 and 1121 or Classics 1130 and 1131;
at least 3 credit hours at the 4000 level;
an additional 12 credit hours at the 3000 level or above; and
an additional 18 credit hours at any level. With the exception of language courses (Classics 1120, 1121, 1130, 1131), no more than 6 1000-level credit hours may be counted towards the major.
