古典文学学士学位

古典研究的中心是古老的地中海盆地，该地区长期以来被希腊和罗马的文明区分开。因此，我们的大部分工作都致力于这两种文化在传统上受到尊敬的声音。荷马，柏拉图，韦吉尔和其他人都以自己的语言狂热地阅读，古罗马斗兽场或老挝雕塑集团等古迹使我们着迷，就像它们使前几代人着迷一样。话虽如此，学者们越来越多地欣赏到这个古老的地中海是一个极其多样化的地方，而且它的接触面远远超出了沿海海域的事实。因此，我们开始研究各种各样的人，地方和时代。我们的利益范围从西部的英国，西班牙和摩洛哥到东部的Tigris-Euphrates山谷，同
At the heart of Classical Studies lies the ancient Mediterranean basin, a region long distinguished by the civilizations of Greece and Rome. Much of our work is thus devoted to the traditionally revered voices of those two cultures. Homer, Plato, Vergil, and the rest are avidly read in their own languages, and monuments like the Colosseum or the Laocon sculptural group engross us just as they have mesmerized earlier generations. That said, scholars have come more and more to appreciate the fact that this ancient Mediterranean was an enormously diverse place, and that its contacts stretched far beyond the littoral of the Sea. We therefore have come to study an astonishingly broad array of peoples, places, and times. Our interests range geographically from Great Britain, Spain, and Morocco in the west, to the Tigris-Euphrates valley in the east, while also taking into account the connections of Greece and Rome with Afghanistan, India, and China. We look from the European shores of the Baltic Sea, to the northern reaches of the Sahara desert in Africa. Chronologically, we begin as early as about 1200 BCE, the supposed moment of the Trojan War. There is no clearly discernable end date for our interests, since the multifaceted inheritance from ancient Greece and Rome is alive and well today. It will thus hardly surprise that Classics is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-lingual field of study. All of this is investigated and taught by our faculty, whose interests and specializations embrace language, literature, art, archaeology, epigraphy, theater, history, philosophy, religion, gender, economics, psychology and cognitive theory, law, papyrology, science, medicine, and much more.This major requires a total of ten 4-point courses (40 points). Students should note that courses in modern Greek language do not count toward completion of this major. The courses to be counted toward the major must include both ancient Greek and Latin through the intermediate two level (CLASS-UA 10 and CLASS-UA 6, respectively, or the equivalent) and at least one advanced course in both ancient Greek and Latin or two advanced courses in either one of these languages.
