古希腊和罗马的文明和文化成就继续影响着我们的价值观，思维方式和提出的问题。它们代表了我们最深的文化渊源，并且是通识教育的核心。经典系为学生提供了学习古典文化的语言，文学，文化和影响的机会。通识课程包括古典神话，法律，宗教，古代女性，希腊和罗马文学翻译等主题。这些课程大多数没有前提条件，有些满足Emory College一般教育要求。对于感兴趣的希腊语或拉丁语的学生，无论是在课堂环境还是在个性化的教学中，都提供从初级到高级的所有级别的语言教学。该系提供几个专业和两个未成年人以及与其他系的联合专业。鼓励有兴趣
A minimum of 36 hours in Classics, Greek or Latin OR approved related fields. The civilization and cultural achievements of ancient Greece and Rome continue to influence our values, the way we think, and the questions we ask. They represent some of our deepest cultural roots and stand at the core of a liberal arts education. The Department of Classics offers students an opportunity to study the languages, literature, culture, and influence of classical antiquity. General courses include such topics as classical mythology, law, religion, women in antiquity, and Greek and Roman literature in translation. Most of these courses have no prerequisites, and several fulfill Emory College General Education Requirements. For students interested in Greek or Latin, language instruction is offered at all levels, from elementary to advanced, both in a classroom setting and in individualized instruction. The department offers several majors and two minors as well as joint majors with other departments. Students interested in integrating the study of Greece and Rome with other Mediterranean Civilizations are encouraged to consult the Program in Ancient Mediterranean Studies in which the Department of Classics is an active participant.
