Overview

The Ancient Greek degree from Loyola University Chicago is an excellent preparation for pre-law or pre-medical programs, business, and other careers.

Classical Studies students learn to apply their learning in cross-disciplinary, integrative ways that enable them to capitalize on multidimensional understanding of whole cultures.

Key Features

Upon successful completion of their program, Greek students will

read Greek at an advanced level

analyze Greek texts from a variety of genres and contexts

formulate interpretations based on textual evidence and current scholarly practice

Programme Structure

Courses included:

For a major in Greek, students must take at least six courses beyond the elementary Greek sequence, reading ancient Greek literature in Greek. Options include courses on specific authors such as Euripides, Aristophanes and Homer, and on topics such as Greek oratory and historiography.

At least two of those courses must be at the 300-level. Majors must also take the year-long senior capstone, "The Humanism of Antiquity." Four electives in ancient Greek, Latin, or classical civilization courses round out the major.

The major is thus a total of 36 credit hours. Students can begin the Greek major at Loyola without previous language experience.
