Earning a Bachelor of Arts (BA) involves completing at least 120 credit hours (typically 40 courses) over approximately four years. Your coursework will delve into cultural studies, human thought, historical developments, social dynamics, and the natural influences shaping our world. This program cultivates essential critical thinking, analytical abilities, and communication skills crucial for thriving in an evolving global landscape.
The Classics discipline investigates ancient Greek and Roman civilizations within the wider Mediterranean context. This inherently interdisciplinary field incorporates Latin and Greek literature, archaeological findings, intellectual traditions, material artifacts, classical influences on later cultures, and examinations of gender, ethnicity, and class structures. While grounded in antiquity, Classics remains profoundly connected to modern society and institutions. By studying ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies, students develop valuable perspectives on current and future societal trends.
