The Classics major delves into the languages, literature, history, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Students learn to analyze classical texts in their original languages and explore the profound impact of the ancient world on modern society.
“The classics major is annoying when it comes to enrollment since the department is on the smaller side, the range of classes is sometimes limited to 1-2. If you don’t have priority enrollment or miss your time, then you’re a little fried. The classes are fun though and the TAs are very engaging. A lot of the classes can be cross-listed from political science, history, or philosophy though so the major isn’t too hard. The language requirement is a bit annoying to fulfill tho since you need 3 quarter of either Latin or Greek (nice if you like learning languages tho).”
