概述

The classical studies major is quite broad, 包括语言, 历史, and culture in its fullest sense. 很明显, classical studies students will develop and analyze basic knowledge about the ancient world, especially to gain an appreciation of its breadth and diversity.

Students will build on their training in classical studies to make connections to other academic disciplines.

课程

If you begin Latin at Centre, you’ll be reading Roman literature well before the end of the first year. After first-year Latin, your classes typically consist of small seminars with an emphasis on discussion. If you choose to study ancient Greek, you’ll be reading the New Testament in your first year and Homer’s Iliad or Odyssey in your second year.

In addition to the study of ancient languages and literature, both in the original language and in 英语, majors take at least one ancient 历史 course. Other courses concentrate on ancient cultures and mythology. The 古典研究 major also draws on courses offered by the art, 戏剧, 政府, 哲学, 还有宗教项目.
