Overview

Program Details

The Classics - Classical Civilizations program at Hofstra University is ideal for students who wish to pursue a career in law, education, or for students who intend to continue their academic careers in graduate school. Whether you choose to become a major, a minor, or if you enroll only for a single course, one of the great benefits of studying classics at Hofstra is the personal attention you will receive from our extremely dedicated faculty.

The classical tradition is not trapped in dusty old books on library shelves; it exists in the way we speak, the way we think, what we read, the music we listen to, and what we watch on television and in movies. From democracy to gender, from theater to athletics, from philosophy to the very way in which we understand history: the legacy of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds lives all around us.
