Why Study Classics?

Classical Studies at Western is broadly based on the study of the language and literature, history, and archaeology of the Greek and Roman world. The study of Classics is, by its nature, an interdisciplinary one, combining the main fields of Greek and Latin literature, history, and archaeology with other subjects such as religion, mythology, political theory, law, philosophy, sports, music, sexuality and gender studies.

Classical Studies is not just an exploration of ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean, but also an exploration of how Greece and Rome fundamentally shaped our own world and the way we think today.
