What is Classics and Classical Studies?

Classics is a discipline which encompasses the breadth and scope of the ancient cultures which formed the basis of Western civilization. While its focus is on Greece and the Roman Empire, it also includes the study of the predecessors and contemporaries of these civilizations in the Near East.

What do Classics and Classical Studies students learn?

Classics can and does include the study of ancient art, architecture, mythology and religion, languages, history, society, archaeology, politics, science and technology, philosophy, women's studies, and literature. Some universities offer opportunities to work on archaeological digs in North Africa, Italy, Greece and other sites in the ancient world. Many students pursue joint programs pairing classics with another discipline in the arts or humanities, though the most common of these would be classics and archaeology or classics and Greek or Latin. A classics degree may be pursued without a strong knowledge of either language, but students considering graduate school would be advised to take courses in one or preferably both languages. Some universities (like the University of New Brunswick) make the distinction between programs by calling the graduate-oriented focus “Classics” and the other (usually minor) focus “Classical Studies”.
