古典系是科罗拉多大学博尔德分校最活跃的课程之一。本系各个级别的学生都面临挑战，要求他们掌握分析和展示各种形式证据的一套技能，这些技能将为他们的日常生活，公民生活和职业生涯提供服务。经典领域是多元文化的：它涉及对古希腊和罗马文明的研究，也涉及对希腊和罗马人在中欧，东欧，北非，埃及和中东与之互动的许多民族的研究。
The Department of Classics is home to one of the most vibrant programs at the University of Colorado Boulder. Students at every level in the Department are challenged to acquire a set of skills in the analysis and presentation of diverse forms of evidence, that stand to serve them in their daily, civic and professional lives. The field of Classics is multicultural: it involves the study of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome, but also of the many peoples with whom the Greeks and Romans interacted in central and eastern Europe, north Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East.
