Classics The study of the ancient world, and especially the languages and cultures of Greece and Rome, was once central to all liberal education.

The Classics major allows students to choose among four concentrations, all of which will include at least one ancient language component. Depending on the concentration chosen, the other requirements may consist of more language study or study of one ancient culture, Greek or Roman.
