The Greek and Roman Studies (Classics) program offers a comprehensive exploration of European civilization's ancient foundations and their lasting influence on subsequent periods. This curriculum delves into diverse aspects of Mediterranean antiquity, including literary works, historical events, philosophical thought, mythological traditions, religious practices, societal structures, technological advancements, artistic expressions, architectural achievements, and archaeological findings - with particular emphasis on Greek city-states and Roman society. Beyond understanding these influential civilizations, students can master ancient Greek and Latin, analyze classical texts in their original forms or translations, and learn from Carleton's distinguished faculty with their wide-ranging specializations. As an interdisciplinary field, Classics cultivates versatile thinkers equipped with critical research, analytical reasoning, persuasive argumentation, and effective communication skills - valuable assets for any career path. Students may also pursue an Archaeology minor, concentrating on excavation sites, material artifacts, and investigative methodologies used to uncover ancient civilizations worldwide.

Academic performance in your previous studies is the main determining factor for admission.
