Classics, Minor

Program Overview

The core of the classics minor is the study of the languages and literatures of ancient Greece and Rome and the societies that spoke Greek and Latin until the end of the ancient world (usually taken as the 5th century of the Common Era). Students may choose from three different concentrations: Greek, Latin, and Classical Civilization (the latter requiring no language proficiency). All of these concentrations offer exposure to a range of approaches: literary, philological, historical, archaeological, art historical, philosophical, and anthropological. In addition, the Department of Classics now offers several courses on the Ancient Near East and Egypt for a wider perspective on the ancient world.
