Our majors improve their memories and expand their minds through language work. They strengthen their analytical abilities through critical reading of a wide array of ancient sources, their research ability in projects of many kinds, and their writing and oral presentation skills through numerous methods on a daily basis. Majoring with us provides opportunities to study abroad, assist faculty in research, and pursue independent projects with faculty guidance. In 2017-2018, we had over sixty declared majors and minors at different stages of their undergraduate careers - our highest number on record. The department's two major options, Classics and Ancient Studies, are both ideal opportunities to practice and polish the fundamental liberal arts skills while immersed in a fascinating and relevant subject and working closely with a vibrant faculty. The department feels strongly that the study of Greek and Roman civilizations encompasses more than literature alone and does not end with antiquity, rather, there are various aspects of antiquity and they all shed light on one's own time as much as the contemporary world illuminates the past. Accordingly, the student and the advisor will devise an individually planned program which will incorporate the totality of the student's interests in antiquity as well as in subsequent periods and other areas. The major in Classics emphasizes the study of Greek and/or Latin literature read in the original languages. In fulfilling the general requirements for the degree, prospective majors in Classics are urged to select courses in their major and in other departments according to their own interests, abilities, and long-range educational plans.
