A minor in Classical Studies can serve as a useful complement to undergraduate majors in many related areas. The minor consists of six courses, configured as follows:
- 1 required core introductory course: ANCH 0101 Strife: A History of the Greeks or ANCH 0102 Ancient Rome.
- Any 5 other courses in:
- Ancient History (ANCH)
- Classical Studies (CLST)
- Greek (GREK)
- Latin (LATN)
- Courses with the attribute ACLB (Classical Studies-Related Courses in Other Departments)
- Or any other course approved by the Undergraduate Chair.
Students interested in declaring a minor should meet with the Undergraduate Chair as early as possible to plan their coursework—though students who have completed all or most of the courses required for a minor are welcome to declare retroactively!
Students who have taken introductory and intermediate courses in Latin and/or Greek, even to fulfil the Foreign Language Requirement, may use up to four of these courses toward the minor.
Students may also double-count as many Sector courses toward the Minor as they wish.
See also the Minor in Ancient History, which is more specific to the content and methods of historical study, and may include a focus on other ancient Mediterranean and global cultures, not just Greece and Rome.
