Study the Past to Inform the Future
The major in Classical Studies draws on the study of literature, art, archaeology, history, political theory, law, medicine, and religion to understand the societies of ancient Greece and Rome in their broader Mediterranean context and their relevance to our culture today.
Curriculum and Courses
Classical Studies majors are required to take classes such as Greek Civilization, Introduction to Roman Civilization, and Classical Mythology. You also choose the remaining hours (6) from areas like art, history, language, literature, philosophy, and religion to make up an integrated study plan. Knowledge and coursework in at least one ancient language is also recommended. Many classics majors are interested in other subjects and choose double majors.
- CLS 212 Greek and Roman Tragedy
- CLS 222 Race and Ethnicity in Antiquity
- CLS 235 Women in Antiquity
- CLS 332 Discoveries of Archaeology
- CLS 336 Ancient Sexualities
One thing I love about Miami’s Classics department is that the professors really care about less traditional aspects of classical studies. They go into great depth with groups and ideas that are traditionally overlooked.
