Program Overview
Classical Civilization
Through a variety of courses, we help classics majors investigate the hallmarks of classical Greece and Rome, and to understand the role of these ancient cultures in forming the modern West. We offer three areas of study: Classical Civilization, Latin Language and Literature, and Greek Language and Literature.
Professor of Classics Drew Wilburn and students discuss concepts in the Magic and Mystery Ancient World course.
