BA Classics in Classical Civilization

The field of classics encompasses the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures and their political, social, artistic, and intellectual legacies. With its broadly conceived chronological (the Bronze age through late antiquity) and geographical (ancient Mediterranean and Near East) boundaries, the Classics program involves the study of cultural contact and hybridization, as well as the exploration of the dynamic relationships between past and present. With its wide range of courses in language, literature, religion, social and political history, as well as art and archaeology, the program enables students to investigate ancient cultures from different perspectives and become acquainted with the aims and methods of several disciplines. Four degree sub-plans (Greek; Latin; Greek and Latin; Classical Civilization) are designed to accommodate students' specific interests and needs.
