Bachelors in Classical Studies

Classical Studies affords students many opportunities to explore interdisciplinary connections between Greece and Rome and with many other civilizations, both ancient and modern. Besides the intense study of two ancient languages and literatures, the department offers comprehensive courses in the art, archaeology and history of the Greeks and Romans. We encourage students who have had some background in Greek and Latin to resume their study of those languages as soon as possible after entering Brandeis, as those skills are more difficult to retrieve after a passage of time.
