追求经典不需要任何特殊的大学预备课程。如果您认为您有兴趣与我们一起学习，则应联系本科研究主任（现为Michael Peachin教授）。主任很乐意向我们解释我们为本科生提供的所有教育选择，并将继续作为整个本科生经验的指导。打算学习经典课程的主修或辅修课程的学生将带着我们的专业来学习。各种各样的兴趣和目标。有些是古典考古学的作品，有些是希腊和罗马文学的作品，有些则是对古代哲学，宗教或历史的探究，而另一些则是人类学与经典的交集。有些人想在研究生阶段学习经典课程，其最终目标是从事教学职业。其他人则打算自己当律师
The Department of Classics explores all aspects of the Greek and Roman worlds, including their languages and literatures, art and archaeology, history, philosophy, religion, politics, economics, and law. We also feature courses on comparative studies of the ancient world beyond the Mediterranean, and the modern reception and transformation of classical literature, art, and philosophy. This broad interdisciplinary approach to these cultures that have had a major role in shaping Western values and thought provides an excellent undergraduate education. Similar to other liberal arts majors in philosophy, history, or English, our graduates go on to careers in education, law, medicine, business, politics, and the media.The department offers courses in both English translation and the original languages. Several majors and minors are available, some in conjunction with the Departments of Anthropology and Art History and with the Alexander S. Onassis Program in Hellenic Studies. Academic internships, an honors program, the opportunity to participate in an archaeological excavation in Cyprus, study away programs, and individualized study are also available.Classroom instruction is supplemented by a variety of activities. In addition to film screenings, lectures, and field trips sponsored by a lively Classics Club, students have access to the superb collections of antiquities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the American Numismatic Society, and the Pierpont Morgan Library, as well as to the department's own collection of antiquities. Finally, opportunities for travel and study abroad are available in Greece, Italy, and other Mediterranean sites.
