For the thrill of exploring ancient Greek and Roman culture.
We offer a wide array of classes in philosophy, archaeology, history, religion, and literature, as well as a full curriculum in ancient Greek and Latin. If you major in our department, you will have a lot of freedom to design your own program, focusing on the areas that interest you most.
