These three tracks mandate fluency in either Latin or ancient Greek. A fourth option in modern Greek focuses on contemporary Greek language, literature, and cultural studies, requiring modern Greek proficiency. Classical studies graduates frequently continue their education in fields like classical philology, art history, archaeology, comparative literature, or museum curation. Career prospects vary based on the chosen specialization. With intimate class settings, a focus on analytical skills and communication, and dedicated faculty teaching introductory courses, this major also serves as strong preparation for professional programs in medicine, law, and other fields.
