Studying Classical Civilization
Classics is the study of the civilizations of Greece and Rome. These are of interest both in their own right and because their achievements have been the foundation of so many aspects of our own civilization: its art, languages, literature, philosophy and government. Courses in Classics thus present background material that is indispensable for the understanding of many other studies in the Humanities.
The program is designed to meet the needs both of students seeking a broad survey of Greek and Roman culture and of specialists in other Humanities subjects who require background knowledge of Classics for their particular interests, whether literary, historical, religious or philosophical.
