Overview

Classics is a transdisciplinary field that includes the study of the literature, art, history and philosophy of the ancient Greeks and Romans, subjects which fueled the Renaissance and have continued to provide an intellectual foundation for innovative and influential people ever since.

The International Letters and Cultures - Classical Civilization BA program offered at Arizona State University begins with two cores: an introduction to ancient Greek and Roman literature (read in English translation) and knowledge of ancient history. With that basis, students are allowed to build a program to meet their needs and interests. Among the variety of topics students pursue are:

ancient history, war, politics and economics
archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world
art and architecture of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
mythology and religious practices of the Greeks and Romans
thought of figures such as Plato, Aristotle and Lucretius
use of the classics in today's film, books and other media
