Classics and Classical Lang., Lit., and Linguistics, Gen.
Description:
Classics involves the study of ancient cultures, in particular the literature, history and art of the great civilizations of Greece and Rome in the period from about 500 B.C. to A.D. 500. The Department offers courses in many aspects of Greek and Roman life and in a number of related fields such as the Ancient Near East and Egypt. An important focus of Classics is the teaching of ancient Greek and Latin languages and literature (e.g. Homer, Sophocles, Virgil), which can be studied either in translation or in the original. Language courses are offered both at the introductory and advanced levels and provide opportunity for learning through computer-assisted language programmes. While a requirement of the Classics Honours B.A. and graduate degree programmes, courses in Greek and Latin are open to all, whether majors or minors in the B.A. programme, or students (inside or outside the Faculty) simply wishing to expand their intellectual horizons.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
