Overview

The Building Blocks of Modern Civilization

In “A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law" (1765), John Adams advises us to “read the histories of ancient ages; contemplate the great examples of Greece and Rome.” Just as the Founding Fathers drew on the Classics to establish our great nation, Hillsdale College offers the study of ancient Latin and Greek civilizations to give you a vital tool for understanding our evolving world.

The study of the languages and civilization of Greece and Rome gives the student a unique insight into the Western heritage. Basic knowledge of classical antiquity is virtually indispensable for any in-depth study in politics, religion, philosophy or literature. The analytical training of classics, moreover, gives the student excellent and widely recognized preparation for a broad variety of professions.
