Undergraduate

We offer courses at all levels, both in the original languages and in English, for majors and non-majors alike. We make no assumptions about a student's prior experience, and look to provide access to the ancient world to as many people as possible, in whatever form serves them best.

Please note that courses in other departments, which may not be listed here, will sometimes carry credit towards the Minor in Ancient Civilization.
