The major in Classics strives to involve students in an investigation into the foundations of Western Civilization, which are to be discovered in our Greco-Roman heritage. Without the broad perspective that a solid grounding in the origins of Western culture provides, we, as inheritors of that tradition, cannot meaningfully engage in an intelligent dialogue with other cultures and attitudes.
Unique among the liberal arts in the breadth of its historical and cultural scope, the study of Classics embraces over two millennia of history, beginning with the splendid early achievements of the Minoan-Mycenaean Age in Greece and ending with the decadence and decay of the Roman Empire, as the West moved into the Middle Ages. There is no a significant aspect of the political arts that was not experienced in antiquity.
To study the literature of the ancient world is to sit at a great banquet and taste the philosophical profundity of Plato and Aristotle, the archetypal epics of Homer and Vergil, the historical inquiries of Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, and Tacitus, the sparkling comedies of Aristophanes, Plautus, and Terence, the sublime lyrics of Sappho and Catullus, and the eternal tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. There is hardly a literary genre that was not first given form by the Greeks and Romans.
The remarkable achievements in ancient sculpture, painting, and architecture can be explored through the study of Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology. Greek and Roman Mythology has been perhaps the most pervasive of all influences upon the literature and art of Western Civilization. We take great pleasure in allowing students to discover for themselves how the creative, artistic, and intellectual life of the Ancients has given inspiration to and influenced our own culture.
Classics provides a solid liberal arts background and offers one of the best possible foundations for a variety of future careers.
