Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree through Queen's University's Classics Specialization Plan (CLAS-P-BAH), offered by the Department of Classics and Archaeology. The plan is more language-intensive than the department's Classical Studies plans, requiring substantial coursework in both Greek and Latin alongside courses in classical literature, culture, archaeology, history, mythology, and ancient science. It is intended for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in Classics or in studying the discipline in the traditional, language-based way. The Specialization plan may optionally be paired with a Minor plan and, with sufficient electives, leads to the 120.0 units required for the Honours degree. Full plan and course requirements, including the Greek and Latin language sequences, are set out in the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar. The program suits students planning further study in Classics or related fields such as ancient history and archaeology, and it provides a strong linguistic foundation for graduate work in the discipline.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Queen's Faculty of Arts and Science admits humanities and social-science applicants under the Arts admission category (QA), which covers Bachelor of Arts (Honours) plans such as Classics, Classical Studies, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Politics Philosophy and Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Linguistics, Indigenous Studies, Film and Media, the modern-language plans (German Studies, Hispanic Studies, Italian, Spanish and Latin American Studies, World Language Studies, Languages Literatures and Cultures), Jewish Studies, and Environmental Studies (Arts), as well as Economics (listed separately as QAE with identical requirements). Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six 4U/4M courses: English 4U is the only mandatory subject, and the remaining five courses may be at either the 4U or 4M level. Recent admission cycles have required a low-80s overall average for this category. Applicants apply through the OUAC and submit official transcripts; applicants whose first language is not English must also meet Queen's English Language Proficiency requirement.
