Whether you dream of reading Homer and Vergil in the original or want to understand how ancient Greece and Rome continue to exert a powerful influence upon contemporary culture, Classical Studies offers a comprehensive program of classical languages, cultures and traditions with several options to choose from. The major in Classical Studies has two concentrations: students who wish to engage in a variety of approaches and disciplines (such as History, Art History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies) choose the Civilization Concentration, while students whose main focus is to read classical works in the original Greek and Latin choose the Language Concentration. There are also minors in Classical Studies, Greek, and Latin.
