Classical studies provides the opportunity to explore the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome and thus the roots of Western 历史, 文学, 和文化.
As an interdisciplinary field, classical studies encourages students to develop multiple intellectual skills and to think about the world around them from different perspectives. Current course offerings include Greco-Roman 文学, 神话, 历史, 考古, 哲学, 政治科学, 修辞, 当然, 拉丁语和希腊语. There is a significant amount of flexibility in the classical studies minor in terms of the courses one takes, but the study of ancient 语言s is the core of the program, and all minors must take one year of either Latin or Greek.
Classical studies is a great complement to other areas of study because a student can emphasize those aspects of classical civilization that relate to his or her primary field of study (e.g. 文学, 历史, 语言, etc) In a more general sense, the skills and perspectives one acquires are well suited for those considering graduate school or any kind of post-graduate educational program such as law school or medical school. As a result of being interdisciplinary, the classical studies minor encourages students to employ a variety of methodologies in various disciplines while still developing a cohesive body of knowledge relevant to many fields. The linguistic component ensures that one has a deeper understanding of 语言 and can thus write, 说话, and think more clearly. 此外, the fact that a great deal of specialized legal and medical terminology is based on 拉丁语和希腊语 means that a minor in classical studies is great training for someone considering any kind of legal or medical profession. 程序表
