Classics in the broad sense is the study of all aspects of the life and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The Classics Department offers courses that explore the most important areas of these ancient civilizations and their Mediterranean context: language (ancient Greek and Latin), literature, history, philosophy, mythology, religion, and art. Most courses in the department are open to any interested student. Classics courses, such as Mythology, Classical Tragedy, Ancient Greek Religion, and Women in Antiquity, require no knowledge of an ancient language. Latin or Greek may be taken to satisfy the second language requirement. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the field, classics provides an ideal liberal arts curriculum that is an excellent background for careers in many areas. |
