Welcome to the Department of Classics
Classical studies is an interdisciplinary major, with specializations in ancient language and classical civilization that offer students instruction in the history, literature, and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans. These two specializations require proficiency in Latin or ancient Greek. The department also offers the option for students to specialize in Modern Greek with instruction in the language, literature, and culture of modern Greece and requires proficiency in modern Greek.
