The Classical Studies Program, in which students can also major, is designed to offer a broad, rigorous education in the classical world and illustrates how the achievements of classical civilization form the foundations upon which so many disciplines are built. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is reflected by a teaching staff that includes faculty in the Departments of Classics, History of Art and Architecture, Philosophy, Political Science, and Religion. Unlike the classics, major which requires that students learn two ancient languages, a student majoring in classical studies focuses on one ancient language but pursues a wider range of courses on the classical world (taught in English).
