Classical Civilization
In Classical Studies, students explore the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans through an interdisciplinary study of literature, art, and history. Ancient Greek and Roman civilization contributed to our traditions in literature, art, law, and intellectual life; studying their languages and cultures deepens our understanding of contemporary social, political, and aesthetic issues. Through studying Classics you will also develop skills for problem-solving, organizing information, and effective writing—all skills that will help you to succeed in your other academic work and in your career.
Classical Civilization majors choose one of two tracks: Culture and Literature or Art and Archaeology; many also take courses in ancient Greek or Latin. Study abroad in Athens or Rome can easily be incorporated into a Classical Studies major. Many students choose Classical Studies as a second major for the love of it, to learn about literature, art, and history that remains relevant throughout their lives.
