CLASSICAL STUDIES

Burke, Administrative Coordinator.

Classical studies provides the student opportunity to examine the achievements of the ancient past, notably those of Greece, and Rome from a variety of distinct perspectives: literature, language, art, history, philosophy, and religion. To allow for the integration of perspectives, some courses have been designed which offer an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the past; these are designated HUM (for Humanities) in the listings below.

Studies includes six courses. These courses should be chosen from among the following, through consultation with the Classical Studies administrative coordinator:
