BA/BS in Classics and Classical Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics

This Bachelor of Arts studies the languages and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, concentrating on Greece and Rome and the way their ideas shaped Western civilization. Students pick either ancient Greek or Latin and read the literature, view the art and buildings, and learn about governance, belief systems, scientific thought and philosophy from those societies. Graduates may continue to law school, teacher preparation or medical training, or they may work at museums, heritage sites, schools and companies. Students also strengthen their written and spoken communication and their analytical reasoning. The university states that this major is closed to new students at present.
