Classics

Course Description

A stringent major that might lead to graduate study in classics requires two years worth of work beyond the intermediate level in one language, preferably almost that much in the other, coverage of an extensive reading list and work (measured by the comprehensive examination) to establish historical, philosophical and art-historical framework for the literature. Other students will spend less time on the languages (perhaps concentrating on one of them) and emphasize one or more non-classics program areas. The Department will provide formal or informal colloquia to bring together the studies of advanced students and faculty. Distinction in Classics will be awarded for the theses of an excellence beyond the mere grade of A. All students majoring in classics will: complete 7-14 units (including work at the 300 level or above in language) of Courses in the Department pass comprehensive examinations based on the department reading list, including reading in at least one classical language, and present senior theses or the equivalent.
