About

Overview There are two routes through the Classics major: Route A emphasizes more coursework in Greek and Latin, while Route B emphasizes more Classical Studies courses (see below). Majors and prospective majors should consult with the department’s chair, who is the formal adviser for every Classics major, and with other faculty in the department to ensure a well-balanced and comprehensive selection of Classics courses appropriate to their individual interests. They may also benefit from advice on courses offered in other departments which would complement their particular interests in Classics.Students considering Study Away either in the junior year or in the summer should consult with Classics faculty as early as possible, both to learn about programs and financial aid opportunities and for advice on choosing courses at Williams that will best prepare them for the programs that interest them. Students should especially consult about the implications of study away for the sequences of language courses. Students interested in Graduate Study or Teaching should also consult with Classics faculty as early as possible.Learning ObjectivesCoursework in the Classics program from Williams College is designed with these learning objectives in mind:To contribute to the liberal education of our students, regardless of their major field of study.To prepare students who plan to pursue graduate work in Classics or related fields.
