Bachelor of Arts - Classical Studies

To understand where people are going, they must reflect on where they have been—even if that means going all the way back to the beginning. Classical studies is the original liberal arts degree, combining aspects of art, history, archeology, literature, and philosophy into a comprehensive look at the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean.

Students will have the opportunity to study artifacts up close through local museum collections or right at the source in places like Athens and Rome. They will put themselves in the shoes of Greek senators as well as servants and slaves in order to understand the foundations of democracy. And with a major emphasis on developing critical thinking and research skills, students will be prepared for virtually any industry. They have gone on to study law, teach Latin, research lost cities, and serve as international business leaders.
