Classical Studies

The study of classics examines the origins and growth of Greek and Roman culture in the Mediterranean area, as well as its current impact on the area (and others). Students may major in classical civilization or classics. The classics major offers a comprehensive view of language and culture; it is possible to begin an ancient language (ancient Greek or Latin) at Lehigh and to complete the major program successfully. The classical civilization major allows the student to gain an overview of Greco-Roman culture through the literature, archeology and history along with basic language study. A minor is also available in both areas of study.
