Overview

The Greek and Roman Studies (Classics) BA program from Carleton University examines the literature, language, history, philosophy, mythology, religion, social and economic life, technology, art, architecture and archaeology of the ancient world, framed by the impact on the Mediterranean basin of the city-states of Greece and the Roman Republic and Empire.

In addition to learning about the history of civilizations that have made an indelible impact on the modern world, you will have the opportunity to learn the ancient Greek and Latin languages, to study ancient literature in the original languages or in translation, and to benefit from the expertise of Carleton scholars who have a rich variety of interests and areas of specialty.

Future opportunities

Classics has long been recognized as providing a fine intellectual training, with its need for clear analysis and appreciation of the nuances of a broad range of material. In addition, private sector employers today often prefer well-trained generalists who are eager to learn new skills.

Some of our students have gone on to become teachers or work in government service. Some have obtained specialized qualifications in related fields and work in museums or as archaeologists.
