We serve everyone, whether first-year beginner or graduate researcher, who wants to learn Classical Greek and Classical Latin, or to enrich his or her experience of all the literatures and cultures which inherited the Classical Greek and Latin traditions. If you want to get to the sources of European-American culture, we are at your service.

Classics Latin and Greek is designed as a preparation for graduate study in Classical Languages and Literatures, Classical History, Classical Archeology, or to build an excellent foundation in the sources for comparative studies of culture, history and literature. You may concentrate on Greek and make a beginning with Latin, or the other way around, or you can balance the two. Students in this major are entitled to have a Latin or Greek Literature course suitable to their skill level in each semester.

Classical Civilization is a flexible program, putting together studies of Greek and Roman history, culture and literature from various departments and including medieval and Near Eastern elements, without requiring Latin or Greek language study though we always encourage it.

The courses run from a two-semester Elementary introduction to each language, through Literature surveys to technical Research seminars. All our instruction is done by highly qualified professors, in small classes where each student's learning needs and capacities receive focused attention. Each instructor also covers survey courses, like Greek Drama or European Law, designed to serve students who are not Classics majors.
