Classical Studies<br />
This interdisciplinary major focuses on ancient Greek and Roman culture and literature.<br />
It draws upon courses in Anthropology, Art, History, and Philosophy to<br />
give the student a fully rounded view <strong>of</strong> the achievements upon which modern<br />
Western culture is built. <strong>The</strong> major should appeal to students with broad intellectual<br />
interests since fields represented include history, archaeology, literature and<br />
mythology. Majors in Classical Studies learn critical thinking skills and cross cultural<br />
analysis and regularly enter the pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> law, politics, education, or<br />
undertake graduate work in the humanities.<br />
