Bachelor of Arts in Classics - Classical Civilization

The department’s programs are designed to allow students to understand the foundations of the western cultural tradition. This is done through a focus on the classical languages and literatures, archaeology, art, mythology and religion, political and social history. Through these studies, students develop skills in critical thinking, reading, writing and speaking. They also develop a sense of the ways in which both shared traditions and personal creativity inform one’s choices, and of the opportunities for good citizenship in a complex world.
