FACULTY

 

Welcome to the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario. Classical Studies is a multi-faceted discipline, which studies all aspects of the Ancient Greek and Roman Worlds. Literature, philology, history, archaeology and philosophy all have their place under the aegis of Classical Studies. We offer an open and constructive venue to pursue studies in all these disciplines at the undergraduate (B.A.) and graduate (M.A. and Ph.D.) levels.
