BA in Classics - Greek in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Department provides a Bachelor of Arts in Classics featuring five distinct focus areas. Every major concentration mandates studying classical Greek and/or Latin up to at least the fourth semester, along with CLAS 391, the Junior Seminar. This culminating course unites all majors to explore a unified topic that highlights the field's interdisciplinary nature, incorporating both Greek and Roman sources—textual and archaeological. Each concentration has unique emphases 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. Meanwhile, the Classical Civilization concentration offers a comprehensive overview of Greek and Roman culture across multiple dimensions. The Greek concentration aims to cultivate proficiency in ancient Greek language and literature, requiring five advanced Greek courses beyond the fourth semester and an introductory Greek history survey. This concentration pairs well as a double major, particularly for students pursuing graduate studies in ancient philosophy or early Christian studies.
