Program details

Overview

Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo leads to a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies or Classics, at the undergraduate level, offered as both a co-op and a regular program. Students examine the roots of Western civilization through the history, religion, philosophy, art, science, and technology of ancient Greece and Rome. Those who choose the Classics stream also study Greek and Latin language. The program develops research, critical thinking, and writing skills through close study of ancient texts and material culture, with opportunities for study abroad. Graduates go on to careers and further study in law, public policy, culture and heritage work, and education, along with other fields that value broad analytical and communication skills.

Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Ontario high school into Honours Arts. Required: six Grade 12 U/M courses including any Grade 12 U English, with a minimum final grade of 70%. Admission is competitive, with an admission average trend in the high 70s for both the co-op and regular options. As with most Waterloo undergraduate programs, admission also requires the Admission Information Form (AIF), submitted through the applicant portal.
