The Classics Department offers courses in Greek and Latin languages, classical literature, as well as
ancient history and other aspects of classical culture and life. The department acquaints students with the cultural
achievements of the classical world which have served as the basis for Western society. A major or minor in Classics
can especially enrich programs in law, medicine, philosophy, religion, and history. Moreover, the study of classical
antiquity can serve as a strong base for a liberal arts education, and can be a rewarding supplement to any field,
regardless of the student's eventual career goals. |
