Overview

By using interdisciplinary methodologies, students examine and develop expertise in the languages, literatures, histories, religions, cultures, art, and artifacts of the peoples of the ancient Mediterranean.

Students apply multi- and cross-cultural perspectives to gender, ethnic, and social issues in order to gain insight into the cultures of the classical world. In reading Greek and Latin prose and poetry, both in the original languages and in translation, students contextualize works of literature in their larger cultural and historical settings and recognize their significance in the past and their relevance for the present and future.

Students conduct research by traditional and digital methods in order to present oral and written arguments supported by primary sources, theoretical constructs, and established scholarship.

Careers

In acquiring these critical and analytical skills, Classics majors at Skidmore College prepare themselves for life beyond college both on the personal and professional level. Professional opportunities can include careers in education, communication, arts, law and government, and library sciences.
