Classics Field Group
At ΒιΆΉΤ΄΄, Field Groups (similar to a discipline or department) organize major requirements and courses.
Classics is an interdisciplinary major and an intercollegiate program. Courses for the major are taught by participating faculty at ΒιΆΉΤ΄΄, Scripps, Pomona, and CMC campuses.
The Classics curriculum provides opportunities to study the diverse cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East from the Bronze Age through late antiquity from multiple perspectivesβthrough ancient literature (in the original languages and in English translation), art and material culture, philosophy, and history. Several courses also examine the βafterlifeβ of antiquityβits reception and reinterpretations in the modern world.
