The minor in Classical studies is designed for students who wish to become familiar with Classical cultures. They can also  broaden their knowledge of the foundations of Western civilization.

The minor is especially relevant to students who are studying other areas of the humanities such as English, languages, comparative literature, history, art history, philosophy, or religious studies.

The requirements of the minor provide flexibility so that students can choose courses relevant to their primary interests.
