BA Classics at Case Western Reserve University

Programme overview

The core of all our Classics majors is the study of the languages and literatures of ancient Greece and Rome and the societies that spoke Greek and Latin until the end of the ancient world (usually taken as the 5th century of the Common Era). We have four different concentrations: Greek, Latin, Greek & Latin, or Classical Civilization (the latter requiring less language proficiency).

Faculty: College of Arts and Sciences | Study mode: full-time | Location: Cleveland, OH, United States

What you will study

There are four concentrations in the Classics major: The Greek, Latin, and Greek and Latin concentrations are devoted to the philological study of ancient languages and their associated literatures in the original languages. The Classical Civilization concentration focuses on ancient history, literature in translation, and archaeology.
