Classics from Assumption College is a Campus Bachelor Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Major in Classics is designed to provide a comprehensive course of study of the languages, literatures, and cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. These cultures form the foundation of much of our modern civilization, and their influence in many disciplines remains strong. The Major in Classics offers the opportunity to study in depth the great works, thoughts, and achievements of antiquity. Classics majors are well-prepared for graduate study in the discipline, as well as in law and medicine. Moreover, the broad liberal arts training which the Major in Classics provides allows for great flexibility of career choices in areas as diverse as the arts, computers, journalism, law, librarianship, publishing, and teaching. Classics is a rich and varied field which involves two languages and cultures and spans many centuries. As a result of this diversity, a student might choose to pursue both Greek and Roman studies or to focus on one culture alone. A student may elect one of four concentrations: Greek, Latin, Classical Languages, or Classical Civilization. Selection of courses within these concentrations should be made in close consultation with the advisor to ensure a balanced and coherent course of study. Courses in related areas, such as art, history, linguistics , and philosophy are especially desirable as electives. View more details on Assumption College .
