Why choose this minor?

A minor in Classical Literature lays the foundation for self-knowledge. 

What you will learn

Classics is the study of the ancient Greeks and Romans: their myths, mysteries, and games, their languages, arts, and architectures, their religions, philosophies, and sciences. Through their poetry, epics, comedies, and tragedies, you'll examine how they constructed their relations to nature, literally created "history," and discovered how terrible the human is.

Sample courses include:

  • Myth into Film: The Greek World

  • Gods, Heroes, and Monsters: Ancient Mythology

  • The Study of the Latin Text of Augustine's Confessions

  • Reading and Research in Latin Texts
