If you're interested in the medieval period, we also offer a program in that field.

International opportunities and study abroad

The Department of Classics immerses students in the world of ancient Greece and Rome through study of the languages, histories, cultures, and material remains of the ancient Mediterranean. The Arabic Studies program, housed within Classics, offers a special focus on Arabic language, literature, and culture.?

An interdisciplinary program, Classics offers majors three tracks: Classical Languages, Classical Studies, and Classical and Medieval Studies.
