Classical Studies

Advisor: John Gruber-Miller

This interdepartmental major is based on the study of language, literature, and civilization and allows for a creative and flexible program that will touch all aspects of the ancient world--its art, history, religion, philosophy, literature, society, and culture.

Major: A minimum of eight course credits, which include:

  1. Three course credits in either Latin or Greek at or above the 200 level;

  2. Two course credits in Greek and Roman literature in English translation selected from CLA 216, 364, 372, and 373;

  3. Three course credits in related areas selected from ART 251 (Greek Art), 252 (Hellenistic and Roman Art); CLA 264 (Women in Antiquity), 381 (Greek Archaeology), 382 (Roman Archaeology); HIS 201 (Origins of Western Civilization), 202 (Rome from Vergil to St. Augustine), 311 (Aristotle and the Origins of Western Science); PHI 302 (Greek Philosophy); POL 323 (Classical Political Thought); REL 251 (Jesus in the Gospels), and 252 (Epistles of Paul).

A term of independent research is highly recommended. With the permission of the major advisor, relevant courses from other departments may be counted toward the major.
