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 English requirements: 24 hours in English, 20 in either Greek or Latin, 8 hours in Classics or Middle Eastern studies, and 4 hours in independent study for the writing of a senior thesis.
