Although the university does not offer a bachelor's degree program in
classical studies, the College of Arts and Humanities has coordinated a
variety of courses in several disciplines that allow comprehensive study
of the Greek and Roman world. For students interested in classical studies,
two alternatives are available.
First, a student may petition for a special major based on the program approved
by the campuswide Committee on Classical Studies, available from the coordinator
of classical studies. Students are strongly urged to read carefully the
policy for the special major for the Bachelor of Arts degree. (See Degree Requirements -- Special Major for the
Bachelor of Arts Degree.) Second, the university offers a classical
studies minor with three areas of interest.
The Classical Studies Minor is designed for students interested in classical
civilization and for those who wish to have a chance to teach classical
languages and culture or who wish to enter a graduate school where such
a minor would give a sound foundation for further work in any of the areas
mentioned above.
The minor allows for three areas of interest: Latin, Greek, and Classics
(Greek and Latin).
