The major programs offered by the Classics Department (nine or ten courses, with at least three at the 300 level or above) allow students to concentrate in either of the languages individually (Greek, Latin), in the two languages combined (Classics) or in literature and culture (Classical Civilization). Concentrators in the languages will plan with their advisor a selection of complementary classical civilization courses (Arth 273 and Arth 274, Phil 203 and Rel 110 and Rel 210 count as classics); concentrators in classical civilization are required to take three semester courses in either Greek or Latin. All concentrators are encouraged to complete a senior thesis; they are also encouraged to participate in foreign study and archaeological programs.
Ancient Studies
The Classics and Religion departments have drawn up guidelines for an interdepartmental major in Ancient Studies. In addition, the Classics Department will work with students to provide individualized programs when necessary or appropriate: in other interdisciplinary studies; in special preparation for graduate work in classics or classical archaeology; in special preparation for the teaching of Greek or Latin at the secondary level.
