Welcome to the Department of Classics


The Department of Classics at Emory boasts an energetic, internationally respected team of scholars devoted to undergraduate teaching, and to fostering close teacher/student relationships with a particular focus on personalized small-class experiences.

Emory Classics Gateway Program

In the summer of 2022, Emory University’s Department of Classics launched the Emory Classics Gateway Program. The program provided funding for four students with an interest in Classics to attend Emory’s Pre-College Summer Program for a two-week residential experience as rising juniors or seniors.

Pictured from left to right are this year’s winners, Arshia Larestani, Deva Hinton-Lawson, Rachel Taylor, and Ava Reese.
