The Department offers a B.A. in Classical Studies, with three distinct concentrations in Classical Language and Literature, Classical Civilization, and Classical Archaeology. All three concentrations offer a broad liberal arts experience that provides an excellent foundation for a variety of careers including law, business, government, journalism, and teaching.

The Classical Language and Literature concentration is designed to ensure a solid preparation in the chosen language and to acquaint students with those works that form the origin of European literature, history, and philosophy. This concentration prepares students for graduate work in the Classical languages and literature and for secondary school language teaching.

The Classical Civilization and Classical Archaeology concentrations provide a solid and wide-ranging background for understanding the origin and development of our Western ideas, values, languages, institutions, attitudes, and art. The Classical Civilization concentration is an excellent major for Prelaw students, who should choose courses on Roman Civilization (CCI 101), Roman Law and Society (CCI 350), and Latin to fulfill major requirements. It is also an excellent second major for those interested in any area of primary or secondary school teaching. The Classical Archaeology concentration is intended especially for students wishing to pursue graduate work in Classical Archaeology. Students interested in other areas of archaeology should also consider the Liberal and Interdisciplinary Studies Major: Archaeology Concentration.
