_______________________________________________________
The Department of Classics and Philosophy offers majors in classics, Greek, Latin, philosophy, and an interdisciplinary major in philosophy and religion, taught in collaboration with the Department of Biblical and Religious Studies. All majors lead to a bachelor of arts degree.

The department also offers minors in classics, Greek, and Latin, that require advanced language courses, as well as a minor in classical civilization that does not require language. Additionally, the department offers minors in medical ethics and philosophy.

These programs support a journey toward any career in business, health, law, education, media, and more by providing the benefit of rigorous training in thinking clearly and carefully as well as providing the depth of historical perspective on the Greek and Roman roots of our modern world.
