Classics Concentrations
Classical Humanities
To complete the A.B. degree in classical humanities, completion of the intermediate level of either Latin or Greek is required, to which six credits of work beyond the intermediate level are added.
These courses satisfy both the university core language requirement and the language requirement for the degree. Test out and advanced placement are possible. The degree candidate selects an additional eighteen hours from among courses in classical humanities, which include archaeology, ancient art, culture, history, mythology and literature in translation.
The A.B. degree in classical humanities is designed to give students breadth rather than specialization by focusing more on culture than literature. As with the A.B. classics major, this major strongly challenges the student to apply principles of examination of ancient society to contemporary problems and debates.
To earn a minor in classical humanities, students must complete 18 hours of classical culture courses. In addition, a 2.500 cumulative average must be maintained in the classical culture courses.
