Overview

The Classical Culture and Society program at Haverford College is one of four offered by the Classics Department. A small department with wide reach, offer students the benefits of a close-knit academic community as well as access to a range of classes and faculty through our collaboration with Bryn Mawr’s Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies.

Key Facts

Students pursuing the Classical Culture and Society major must be able to read Greek or Latin at a basic level, which entails two courses in Greek or Latin beyond the introductory level. Each of the faculty teaches Latin and Greek courses as well as classes on ancient literature and culture in translation, moving easily between introductory and advanced levels, including high-level senior research.

Majors also pursue an in-depth exploration of culture and society, organizing their investigations around one of four areas: archaeology and art history; philosophy and religion; literature and the classical tradition; or history and society.

This program is enriched by a vibrant array of extracurricular activities. Developed by the faculty and students, they bring the classical world to life for majors, minors, and the entire bi-college community.
