Welcome

In Ancient Greek & Roman Studies, we study the cultures of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and put them into the larger context of their predecessors and neighbours, such as the Mycenaeans, the Egyptians, the Persians, and the Etruscans. We study these civilizations in an interdisciplinary fashion, by drawing upon historical, literary, and archaeological evidence. Our courses are designed to allow students to sample a wide range of different approaches:

  • Greek and Roman history
  • Archaeology (Greek, Roman, Aegean Bronze Age, Egyptian)
  • Greek and Roman literature in translation
  • Greek and Latin language

Are you a graduating student?

The Ancient Greek and Roman Studies program faculty, along with their interdepartmental counterparts, having been working towards developing a plan for the upcoming school year.

The Experience

Students in the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies programme study the culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as their Old World neighbours, through the interdisciplinary combination of history, literature, and archaeology.

Program

Classics is the study of the ancient Greek & Roman cultures (c. 3000 B.C.E.-476 C.E.), the two intertwined civilizations that lie at the root of modern Western culture.
