The Classical Studies Program offers a multidisciplinary exploration of the ancient Mediterranean region, spanning from the Bronze Age to late antiquity's significant changes. Focusing primarily on Greek and Roman civilizations, the curriculum also incorporates neighboring cultures. Through this program, learners investigate antiquity using various academic perspectives, including history, literature, philosophy, political science, and visual arts. The program features two major pathways: a language-focused route emphasizing original Greek and Latin works within their cultural and historical settings, or a culture-oriented approach utilizing translated materials. A minor option is also offered.
