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.
