Degree Overview

Students approaching Classical Studies for the first time may wonder how the study of languages and cultures from antiquity is relevant in the digital era; why study Classics?

First, Classics provides students with many fascinating intellectual opportunities. Because the range of Greek and Latin literature is so diverse, students interested in history, drama, poetry, political science, or philosophy, will find ample material to stimulate their curiosity. Moreover, students will develop the ability to read some of the most influential works of western literature in their original languages, and learn about cultures that are radically different from our own, yet at the same time provide the foundation of many modern ideas and institutions.

Study Reasons

Deepen your understanding of civic history, cultural history and modern cultural politics by learning the ways that modern generations adapted and modified classical ideals.

Conduct research with national and international scholars and benefit from the international connections of our world-renowned faculty.
