Classical Studies Minor
Coordinator: Jennifer Ross
The classical studies minor combines courses in the fields of history, philosophy, language, literature and art with a focus on classical civilizations, namely those of ancient Greece and Rome. In addition to coursework in classical studies, students have opportunities to visit local collections of classical art, to attend performances of ancient plays and to participate in on-campus lectures dealing with ancient history and culture.
