Overview

Classical Studies program at College of Wooster is fundamentally interdisciplinary, and students can approach the study of the ancient Mediterranean from a variety of perspectives: language and literature, history and myth, religion and philosophy, and archaeology and anthropology. Indeed, the department allows students to choose between two concentrations, either in Ancient Mediterranean Studies or in the study of Greek and Latin in the Classical Languages concentration.

Quick Facts:

All students at Wooster perform independent study for at least two semesters and the research they undertake becomes a thesis delivered in spring of their senior year. Faculty mentors work individually with students on independent study and the research and writing skills students build during this process serves them well in a variety of careers and in graduate school.
Students are also strongly encouraged to study abroad, and The College participates in highly regarded programs in both Italy and Greece. The department also offers its own summer study-abroad program, during which Wooster students can immerse themselves in Greek culture from the ancient to the modern period by visiting the famous sites of the Greek islands, as well as Athens, Delphi, the Peloponnesus, and Turkey.
