The Department provides a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with five distinct specialization options. Each major concentration mandates studying classical Greek and/or Latin through at least the intermediate level, along with CLAS 391, the Junior Seminar. This culminating course unites all majors to explore a unifying topic that highlights the interdisciplinary essence of classics, incorporating both Greek and Roman sources across textual and material culture. The concentrations vary significantly in their focus and requirements. The Greek, Latin, and Combined Greek and Latin tracks emphasize classical languages and literature in their original forms. In contrast, the Classical Archaeology concentration centers on the art, architecture, and archaeological findings of the ancient Mediterranean. The Classical Civilization option offers a comprehensive overview of Greek and Roman culture, ideal for students considering graduate studies in classics. This track requires either a Greek or Latin focus, with five advanced courses in the primary language and three in the secondary language to ensure proficiency in both.
