The Department of Classics is a leading center for the study of classics, classical reception, and ancient Greek and Latin language and literature. Our courses cover the history, civilization, religion, art, archaeology, philosophy, and mythology of the ancient Greek and Roman world.
Our graduate students are versatile scholars who develop a holistic view of ancient cultures.
Classes are small and students work closely with professors in their study of the languages and cultures of ancient Greece and Rome.
