Students who are admitted to a degree program with Concurrent Education, and who complete their Nipissing Honours degree, including the Concurrent Education specific courses, by the end of April, will transition into Years 5 and 6 of the Bachelor of Education professional years. All courses required for the Honours undergraduate degree and/or teachable subject requirements must be completed by May 1 of the year for which the BEd Year 5 transition is being made.<br>Nipissing University offers a variety of degree options in Classical Studies from a Minor all the way up to an Honours Specialization. Classical Studies students undertake a comprehensive investigation of the history, culture, and language of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East from the Bronze Age to the collapse of the Roman Empire. Classical Studies thus entails the study of the history, literature, art and archaeology, myth and religion, language (Latin and Ancient Greek), philosophy, and scientific thought of the ancient Mediterranean world. Particular attention is paid to how Classical civilization laid the foundations for the social, cultural, intellectual, and political history of later periods in the history of Western civilizations more broadly. The Classical Studies degree program provides an excellent foundation for people who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Classics or Ancient History, attending law school, or considering a degree in teaching. As part of a double-major, Classical Studies will also enrich your understanding of Western history, art, literature, and culture. A cross-listed anthropology course and summer field schools in Europe provide students with an opportunity to engage in basic archaeological research through integrated laboratory sessions, field trips, and excavations.
