Undergraduate students may choose to study Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit or Modern Greek and gain knowledge in literature, mythology, ancient history, philosophy and religion. Additionally, each semester our department offers a number of courses that require no knowledge of the ancient languages. Concentrators are strongly encouraged to integrate their studies in various fields of Classics by writing a senior thesis, participating in seminars, or undertaking a senior capstone project.
