We offer language and advanced reading courses in Latin and ancient Greek as well as a range of courses on ancient culture taught entirely in English. For undergraduates, we offer a popular Classics major, minors in Latin and Ancient Greek, and an interdisciplinary minor in Ancient Civilization. The department also supports a small Master of Arts program.Ìý
Classics is a fundamentally multicultural and interdisciplinary field. At Boston College, it is the exploration of the ancient Mediterranean world and its complex influence on later times, right up to our own. We're interested in every angle of the human existence, from economics to philosophy, sexuality to architecture. If you're interested in languages, politics, gender studies, literature, religion, science, art, or medicine, Classical Studies might be for you.
We offer a Classics major, minors in Latin and Ancient Greek, and an interdisciplinary minor in Ancient Civilization. Courses are offered at all levels, both in the classical languages and English, allowing students to choose what form suits them best.
For students looking to continue their study of Classics, our small Master of Arts Program offers master's degrees in Classics (Latin and Greek together) and in Latin alone.
