This program focuses on literature, philosophy, religion, history, archaeology, and art associated with the Greek language from its earliest appearance through the golden age of the Greek city-state in the 5th century B.C. and the Roman Empire into the medieval Byzantine Empire. Greek majors who intend to continue in Classics graduate studies are strongly advised to study Latin as well. Degree Requirements Students must complete at least 120 credits to graduate, including 30 credits in the major. The major in Greek includes the reading of Greek authors and the study of ancient civilization from the broad range of courses offered at the University. The study of ancient civilization may include courses in Modern Greek, Latin, and other ancient languages, but at least one course must be concerned with ancient culture.
Students also complete a senior project.
The project usually takes the form of a paper, but other forms of a project may be considered. The Greek minor permits students who have satisfied the language requirement in Greek to read ancient authors and to expand their knowledge of ancient civilization.
