It is, then, inherently interdisciplinary, allowing and demanding the development of a wide variety of skills and types of knowledge and understanding. <br><br>The periods within Greco-Roman antiquity with which Greek and Roman Studies particularly concerns itself are the foundational periods for the ancient Greeks and Romans. Within these cultures we see explicit and self-conscious concern with self-definition: what is a citizen, a family, a god What is art What is law What is freedom What is nature How can human beings express themselves All of these issues are still of profound importance for us in North America today. Greek and Roman Studies allows us to develop an understanding of how these questions can be answered through the examination of what is not our world, our lives. Through this understanding we can better live our lives in our world.<br><br>Career Tracks: Archivist/librarian, museum director or curator, documentarian, historical consultant, journalist
