The study of classics forms the bedrock of Western culture, spanning from ancient Greek civilizations to the decline of Rome. This field covers diverse disciplines such as linguistics, literary works, historical accounts, scientific history and philosophy, governance studies, philosophical thought, artistic heritage, archaeological discoveries, and legendary tales. Engaging with classics fosters a comprehensive understanding of past societies while revealing striking similarities to contemporary life. America's Founding Fathers drew inspiration from Greek and Roman civilizations when creating our nation's foundational documents. Approximately 90% of English words with three or more syllables originate from Latin, while most medical and scientific terminology derives from Greek and Latin roots. Exploring classics can lead to fresh discoveries across all areas of life. Pursuing a degree in classical languages and cultures opens doors to numerous career paths. This academic program enhances writing proficiency and nurtures independent thought development. Students cultivate critical thinking abilities, learning to dissect complex subjects, examine their components, and produce insightful, well-articulated analyses - competencies valued in nearly all professional fields.
