Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours at or above the 300 course level
Available concentrations and AOS Codes:

The Department offers a BA in Classical Studies, with four distinct concentrations in Greek Language and Literature, Latin Language and Literature, Classical Civilization, and Classical Archaeology. All four concentrations offer a broad liberal arts experience which provides an excellent foundation for a variety of careers including law, business, government, journalism, and teaching.
The Greek Language and Literature and the Latin Language and Literature concentrations are designed to ensure a solid preparation in the chosen language and to acquaint students with those works which form the origin of European literature, history, and philosophy. These concentrations prepare students for graduate work in the Classical languages and literature and for secondary school language teaching.
The Classical Civilization and Classical Archaeology concentrations provide a solid and wide-ranging background for understanding the origin and development of our Western ideas, values, languages, institutions, attitudes, and art. The Classical Civilization concentration is an excellent major for pre-law students, who should choose courses on Roman Civilization (CCI 202), Roman Law and Society (CCI 350), and Latin to fulfill major requirements. It is also an excellent second major for those interested in any area of primary or secondary school teaching. The Classical Archaeology concentration is intended especially for students wishing to pursue graduate work in Classical Archaeology. Students interested in other areas of archaeology should also consider the Special Program in Liberal Studies in Archaeology.
