Overview

Modern ideas about everything—from politics to society, to law, to art, to athletics—come from the ancient Greeks and Romans. As a major in the Classical Studies program at the University of Rhode Island you will not only study the origins of contemporary society and culture, you will also learn Latin or Greek (or both), which will expand your English vocabulary and improve your grammar skills.

Why Classical Studies at URI?

Be Part of a Community

We’re a small, close-knit group of about 20-30 majors, with accessible faculty who will give you personal, individual attention. And we invite you to join our URI Classics Society, which organizes museum trips, movie outings, and other social events.

Mix and Match Your Majors

Classics is inherently cross-disciplinary, and at URI you’ll have the opportunity to pair it with a range of other degree options including art history, philosophy, anthropology, among others. You’ll also have opportunities to deepen your understanding of languages and cultures with study abroad in Greece or Rome.
