Overview

As with the study of any culture, the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures offers opportunities to experience moments of profound beauty and of profound injustice, and to learn from and across difference. As with the study of any ancient culture, Classics promotes thinking with a long view. Greek and Roman texts and art grapple with some of life’s enduring questions, at the same time as they manifest patterns of exploitation and mistreatment both comparable to other societies and specific to their own cultures and periods.

Key Facts

When you study in the Classics program of the Wake Forest University, not only will you enjoy small class sizes and personal attention, but you will benefit from a department with a long tradition of teaching and advising excellence. Faculty in the Department of Classics have won numerous prestigious awards for teaching and advising, including the university’s Excellence in Advising Award, the Reid-Doyle Prize for Excellence in Teaching, the Jon Reinhardt Award for Distinguished Teaching, the Innovative Teaching Award, the Society for Classical Studies Pedagogy Award, the SCS Award for Excellence in Teaching at the College Level, and the Classical Association of the Middle, West, and South Award for Excellence in Collegiate Teaching.

Career opportunities for majors (and minors) in the department are many and varied; plenty of our students have another major in another department or school. Apart from teaching at the secondary level and other non-teaching academic positions, our graduates work in journalism, business, museums, the legal profession, libraries, publishing, travel and tourism, and government. The major is an excellent preparation for those who intend to pursue professional school (e.g., business, law, medicine, divinity); and also those who wish to continue within the academy, whether in Classics or in comparative literature, linguistics, history, theology, etc.
