For students seeking a comprehensive humanities education or planning to apply to graduate programs in archaeology, ancient history, or other fields like medicine or law. Those aiming for competitive archaeology or ancient history graduate programs should meet with the Classics Department's undergraduate advisor to learn about particular prerequisites.
The classical studies major spans multiple disciplines, featuring concentrations in ancient languages, classical civilization, and teacher certification, all providing education in Greek and Roman history, literature, and culture. These three tracks require Latin or ancient Greek proficiency. A fourth concentration in modern Greek focuses on contemporary Greek language, literature, and culture, demanding modern Greek fluency. The classical civilization track suits those pursuing a wide-ranging humanities education or graduate studies in archaeology, ancient history, or unrelated disciplines like medicine or law. Prospective students of competitive archaeology or ancient history graduate programs should consult the Classics Department's undergraduate advisor for detailed requirements.
