BA in Classical Studies - Classical Civilization in Provo United States | Brigham Young University

Students pursuing a major in Classics explore various aspects of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, including their languages, literature, history, religion, art, and philosophy. The curriculum provides fundamental training in philology, ancient history, archaeology, biblical studies, and Western Europe's literary heritage, along with a solid foundation in classical studies. Learners develop crucial foreign-language competencies such as analytical reading, reflective writing, and effective communication.

With limited and strategic use of reference materials like dictionaries, grammars, and commentaries, students will gain the ability to interpret Classical Greek and Latin texts. This includes understanding works by prominent authors such as Caesar, Xenophon, Cicero, Plato, Homer, Vergil, and other writers of similar complexity.
