At the Department of Classics & Religious Studies, we recruit high-achieving students who are excited about intensive, active research, education abroad opportunities and subjects that never go out of style. Studying the “Classics” means learning many disciplines, including history, investigation of the Latin and Greek languages, the development of literary genres, themes and traditions, and the e
volution of philosophy, religion, science and the history of ideas. We provide students with an excellent background to pursue graduate work in classical languages and literature, classical archaeology, ancient history, religious studies, literary scholarship and other humane disciplines. The broad and humane education they receive serves as excellent preparation for careers in law, medicine, journalism, ministry, business and education.
