The Classics Department offers both an undergraduate major program and an MA program in Classics.
Majors can choose among four tracks depending on how intensively they wish to study the languages.
A major in classical civilization focuses primarily on the culture of Greece and Rome and may choose from a variety of supporting courses in other departments to reflect a particular interest or approach. The classical civilization major also makes an excellent combination with a concentration on ancient history in the History Dept or a concentration on ancient art in the Art History Dept or a Folklore concentration in English. Undergraduate Program Guide MA programs are offered in Latin and in Latin and Greek. They involve intensive language-training and also introduction to scholarship and to a wide range of ancient authors. Students are prepared either for teaching Latin at the secondary level or for continuing on in a PhD program.
