CLASSICS, B.A.

The classics major allows students to achieve proficiency in both Greek and Latin. Majors who choose an emphasis in Greek, also complete four semesters of Latin, and likewise, those who choose an emphasis in Latin, complete four semesters of Greek as well.  

Such comprehensive training enables classics majors to explore Greek and Roman literature in the original languages. From a practical standpoint, students develop analytical and critical thinking skills, and they may also become  thoughtful and gifted writers in their native languages thanks to the intensive grammatical training required by the study of ancient languages.

Job Opportunity Potential

Our coursework builds the critical thinking and communication skills needed to succeed in careers ranging from politics and education to business and law.

  • critical reading, reflection, and analysis
  • proper research design and methodology 
  • expanded world view and exposure to new ideas/ways of thinking 
  • effective teamwork to advance a common project/purpose
  • effective time-management and self-motivation to complete projects independently

  • discussion and debate strategies 
  • broader knowledge of career and graduate-study options
