Undergraduate Certificate in Classical Studies

About This Program

The Classical Studies certificate allows students to explore the literature, civilization, and culture of the ancient world. Students choose from a wide variety of courses, including offerings in art, architecture, archaeology, gender studies, history, literature, philosophy, and politics. Plus, we count language courses, too! Latin and ancient Greek are regularly offered and provide the foundation for modern English vocabulary, giving context and insight into the history of the words we use today. Class sizes are small, making the experience more personal and creating opportunities for meaningful learning outcomes.
