Department of Classics


A Journey of Discovery

Welcome to the riches of Classics! Our students and faculty, a tight-knit community, work closely together on a journey of discovery, exploring two of the most dynamic and fascinating civilizations in history. We delve into the past on a daily basis, always bringing new questions and new perspectives. From this interaction we gain a fuller understanding of both the past and the present, and we learn how to shape the future. Tradition and innovation are two sides of the same coin.

Language and Culture


You can choose two different paths: (1) the traditional study of the classical languages (ancient Greek and Latin), or (2) the study of classical cultures through translations of ancient Greek and Roman texts, archaeological data, and modern works.
