Overview:

The most comprehensive of our majors, the Classics major requires study of both Greek and Latin languages, as well as courses in classical religion, archaeology, literature, politics, history, and philosophy. This should be the choice of those who seek to go to graduate school in Classics and of other students who are particularly interested in the language and literature of both ancient Greece and Rome.

Classics and History requirements: 24 hours in history, 20 hours in either Greek or Latin, 4 hours in Classics courses in translation or art history, and 4 hours in independent study for the writing of a senior thesis.
