Classics

Degree: BA

Major: Yes

Hours for Major: 40

Number of Courses for Major: 10

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 major requirements: 16 hours in one language and 8 in the other beyond the elementary level, 8 hours selected from Classics courses, and 8 hours of art history, history, or philosophy dealing with Greece or Rome.

Classics minor: There is no pure Classics minor at Emory. See Classical Civilization, Greek or Latin.
