The study of Classics typically includes both the study of languages (Latin and Ancient Greek) and culture (history, material culture, gender, philosophy, politics, and religion). We offer two distinct types of tracks: Classics (with Greek or Latin Emphasis), in which most credits will be earned through courses in the languages; and Classical Civilization (which emphasizes culture and requires less, or even no, language study).

A minor in Classics usually consists of 18 credits in GRE and LAT courses, with at least 9 credits coming from upper-division courses. Courses from the approved list for Classical Civilization may be substituted up to a total of 3 credits with the approval of the Director.
