Greek and Roman Studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide students with linguistic skills through the study of the Greek and Latin languages, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of Greece and Rome. Students will be prepared to further their interests in language, literature, and history at the postgraduate level, whether in this field or others, including medicine, education, law, public service, journalism, publishing, library science, theology, and more.

A Major and Minor are offered. Students intending to major or minor in GRS should consult with the Director to determine the best course plan for their needs and time, since not all courses are offered each semester. Only courses in which students earn a "C" or higher may be included in the major or minor. Study abroad and archaeological field work opportunities are available and strongly encouraged. Some requirements may be satisfied abroad.
