The Classical Philology major consists of two semesters of both introductory Greek and Latin, plus two additional years of either Greek or Latin (or a total of six semesters in the dominant language), two supporting courses from Classics, and two supporting courses from outside the department on such topics as archaeology, art history, and classical philosophy. Advanced Latin classes incorporate a wide range of authors, from Augustan poets Virgil and Ovid, to Silver Age authors Suetonius and Lucan, to medieval Christian writers. Similarly, advanced Greek classes concentrate on a variety of authors, from Homer, to Herodotus, to the tragedians.
