The interdisciplinary classical studies program is for students who wish to study Greek and Roman antiquity with an emphasis on classical language, literature and history. Courses in archaeology, history and philosophy provide a broad perspective on Greek and Roman civilization. The program provides a superior liberal arts education, offering thorough preparation for a number of professional fields. The major also prepares students for graduate studies in the classics or to obtain a master's degree in teaching Latin for preparatory and high schools. The minor is of particular interest to students majoring in archaeology, literature, history, Biblical studies, foreign language or pre-law.
