Classical Civilization, Minor
The Department offers minors in Classical Civilization, Greek, and Latin for students who plan to follow a shorter but formally recognized program of study in the field of Classics. The minor program in Classical Civilization approaches the ancient world from a broad interdisciplinary perspective with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. Students who minor in Classical Civilization have many of the same advantages as our majors, and they benefit from being part of our inclusive community as they develop their study on civilizations that have had profound influence on our current socio-cultural, intellectual, and civic lives. Students further benefit from enhancing their critical thinking and their creative and historically-informed problem solving, which can successfully complement their majors and studies in other areas, including the Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM or other professional fields.
