Classics Concentration

A Concentration is the perfect complement to any major, allowing students to pursue their interests at the advanced level while completing a major in another field. It includes advanced work in one or more foreign languages, together with the theoretical consideration of language as a universal human activity. (Students majoring in one language may also concentrate in a second language.)

Types of Classics Concentrations
