Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Classics - Classical Languages
The influences of the Greeks and Romans are apparent in many aspects of our own culture, from language to religion to politics, and more.
Classics majors also learn practical lessons about leadership, effective communication, and critical thinking by studying works of history, literature, and philosophy that have stood the test of time.
The Classics program offers three major concentrations. Classical Studies is a traditional liberal arts major that emphasizes courses on Classical culture. Classical Languages focuses on the Greek and Latin languages. It is ideal for students who anticipate doing graduate work in Classics or entering the ministry.
