A student in the Classical Studies department will enter the world of the ancient Mediterranean. We focus especially on the civilizations of Greece and Rome and offer courses in their literature, mythology, history, culture, art, and archaeology. Students have the opportunity to learn Latin, the language of ancient Rome and medieval Europe, and Greek, the language of philosophy, tragedy, and the New Testament.
The courses offered by the Classics department are supplemented by related courses in the departments of Philosophy, Religion, and the Liberal Arts. Many of our classes do not have prerequisites and we welcome students from all disciplines. Most of the 200-level courses are suitable for students in their first year. All you need are interest and enthusiasm to begin your journey into the Classical past.

The following requirements should be used as a guideline to be considered competitive for admissions consideration.

Applicants who do not meet the posted requirements may be considered on an individual basis. In those cases, the Admissions Office may request additional information in addition to that indicated below.
