The program in Classical Studies offers instruction in the Greek and Latin languages, in Greek and Roman literature (studied in the original and in translation), in the classical civilizations surveyed as a whole, and in particular themes, genres, and periods of classical culture and its influence through subsequent ages. The program provides maximum flexibility without sacrifice of focus. We cater to students who wish to prepare for graduate school in classics and also to students who are interested in Greek and Roman culture for other reasons and wish to take a less specialized approach. Students will be able to explore ancient Greece and Rome from a variety of different angles and with whatever emphasis best suits their individual needs and goals. For more information, please see the Classical Studies website External Link. Program Learning Outcomes for BA in Classical Studies Students graduating from this program will: 1. If they pursue the language track, will be proficient at reading Greek and Latin, and have articulate knowledge of the grammar and style of both languages. 2.
