Western's Classical Studies program offers a comprehensive examination of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations through their languages, literary works, historical records, and archaeological findings. As an inherently multidisciplinary field, Classics integrates primary areas of Greek and Latin texts, historical research, and archaeological discoveries with diverse subjects including religious practices, mythological traditions, governance theories, legal systems, philosophical thought, athletic competitions, musical arts, and studies of gender and sexuality.
The discipline of Classical Studies extends beyond investigating Mediterranean societies of antiquity; it reveals how Greek and Roman cultures profoundly influenced contemporary global civilization and modern thought processes.
