Department of Classics 2022 Orientation Introduction

Is it possible to study Classics and pursue pre-Health courses of study?

Classics and Pre-Health

We have had many students major in Classical Civilizations, Classics, Greek, and Latin while pursuing pre-Health tracks such as Pre-Med, Pre-Vet, Nursing, and Pre-Public Health.

Please download the brochure below if you would like to know more about Classics and Pre-Health.

Is Classics an appropriate course of study if I want to go to law school?

Classics and Pre-Law

Classics, Greek, and especially Latin have long been popular choices for students wanting to study law after their undergraduate careers. There are good reasons for why Classics and a Pre-Law track go together well, but they are not necessarily the ones that everyone assumes.

What Classics courses are being offered this semester (Fall 2022)?

Each semester the Department of Classics publishes a list of courses of interests for majors and minors—Fall 2022 Courses in Classics and related courses in other departments.

Students with questions about specific courses are invited to contact individual instructors directly for more information.

Some faculty may be able to send preliminary syllabi or syllabi from previous versions of their courses; all faculty can and do answer questions about their courses.

If you need assistance in contacting a faculty member in the Department of Classics, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Kim Oliphant, our Undergraduate Program Coordinator, for further assistance.
