Classics
The goal of the Classics Department is to offer students an inclusive view of the ancient world and its relation to contemporary society through a focus on classical languages or classical studies.
The Senior Program
During their senior year, all classics concentrators work closely with a faculty member on one-semester independent research projects of their choosing.
Some recent senior projects in classics include:
- “And My Fame Reaches to the Heavens”: A Commentary on Odyssey Book IX
- How to Learn Latin like a Monk
- Journey to the Stars: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Ancient Greek and Chinese Observations of the Night Sky
- A Study of Early Christian Martyr Cults and Mental Relics
- An Overview of Female Financial Empowerment and Autonomy in Roman Egypt and a Concentrated Study on the Herakleopolite Nome through Papyri
- From Clay to Coriander: A Contemporary Analysis of Ancient Roman Antibiotics
