Bachelors in Classics

This program is about learning to grapple with the foundational texts and artifacts of the Western world on their own terms. It s about coming to see how classical antiquity has shaped and continues to shape the present, from the inspiration that America s Founding Fathers took from the Roman Republic, to the enduring value of authors like Homer and Virgil, to the prominent position of the Hippocratic Oath in contemporary medicine, to the lively popularity of figures from Greek and Roman mythology.
