A minor in Classical Civilization provides a well-rounded knowledge of ancient culture and traditions. Students have the opportunity to build their own program of study by choosing any combination of electives in three disciplinary streams: Literature and Language; History, Culture, and Society; and Art and Archaeology. Classical Studies students learn to apply their learning in cross-disciplinary, integrative ways that enable them to capitalize on multidimensional understanding of whole cultures. Majors in Classical Civilization will find themselves prepared for pre-law or pre-medical programs, business, and other careers.
