Majors may choose from three concentrations:

• Classical Civilization, designed to provide a solid and wide-ranging background for understanding the origin and development of our Western ideas, values, languages, institutions, and attitudes.
• Classical Archaeology, designed to allow students to engage with the archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world.
• Classical Language and Literature, designed to give students preparation in Greek or Latin and to acquaint students with those works that form the origin of European literature, history, and philosophy. Students whose concentration is Classical Language and Literature may take additional coursework in the School of Education to become eligible to apply for teaching licensure in Latin.
