Classics
Major/Minor
The study of classics is concerned with the examination of the civilizations of Greece and Rome. It is the oldest area of study, and students must range through the disciplines of language and literature, art, archaeology, and history to appreciate fully the contributions of Greece and Rome to Western civilization. There are three degree programs within the Department of Classics: classical humanities, Greek, and Latin.
- Course work is divided into four broad categories: Greek and Latin literature in translation; Greek and Roman art and archaeology; Latin and Greek languages; and courses in Greek and Roman sociology, government, mythology, and religion.
- Students interested in teaching Latin at the high school level should work closely with the Department of Classics and the College of Education and Human Services to obtain certification.
