    Classics

    About

    Students can earn a major or minor in classics by taking classes in Greek, Latin or Classical Civilization. All Classics Department courses help satisfy FDR requirements, and many offerings are of interest to all students. No knowledge of Latin or ancient Greek is necessary for courses in Classical Civilization. All department courses count toward the major in classics.
    The Classics Department at W&L offers a major in either Greek or Latin, or both ancient languages together, as well as courses of interest to all students, including Pompeii, the Age of Augustus, Ancient Epic, Greek Tragedy, Mythology, and The World of Late Antiquity. The wide scope of the classics field, and its emphasis on close study, analysis and critical thinking, makes it an excellent preparation for a wide range of professions.
