Classical Civilization B.A.Classical and Near Eastern Religions and Cultures
College of Liberal Arts
This interdisciplinary program encompasses the study of Greek and Roman cultures and their influence on Western civilization, and it encourages study of related or parallel cultures, such as those of Islam and the Indian subcontinent. It provides a comprehensive alternative to more specialized majors that focus primarily on one aspect, or subject matter of classical antiquity, and the spheres of its influence, such as art, archaeology, history, philosophy, literature, or a narrower span of historical periods. The program enables students to investigate classical civilization and its heritage from several perspectives and become acquainted with the aims and methods of several disciplines.
