Classics
is the study of the cultures of ancient Greece and
Rome. Both cultures have had a profound influence
on life in the western world, especially in areas
like language and literature, art and architecture,
politics and religion, and science and philosophy.
The Classics department at Wright State offers classes
in most of these areas. We also offer a minor and
three different majors in the subject. Two--the Latin
and the Greek major--focus primarily on the study
of the ancient languages and literatures. The third--Classical
Humanities--allows students to take a wider range
of courses in the field. Students in classics and humanities programs may also be interested in the Master of Humanities program at Wright State.
We are committed to high-quality teaching
of undergraduates. We provide both specialized training
for those who wish to enter graduate school in preparation
for a career in scholarship or high school teaching,
and a broad liberal education for those with more
general interests. If you would like to learn more
about our courses, our majors, or our minor, please
feel free to contact the Chair,
Professor David Barr, or any of the other
faculty members. |
