CLASSICS (CLAS/GRK /LAT )
The cultural environment of Greece and Rome is the subject matter taught in the classics department. Courses are given in the language, literature (in the original and in translation), art and archaeology and in the development and heritage of these civilizations.
The department offers a degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in classics; concentrations are available in Greek, Latin, and classical civilizations. A degree of Master of Arts with a major in classics is also available, with concentrations in ancient Greek, Latin, or classical archaeology. The B.A. assumes general knowledge of mathematics; students must complete MATH 120, MATH 122 or higher.

In addition, a number of the department's courses may be used toward a supporting minor in other graduate programs.
