Small Quote from the Student regarding being a major or minor in classical studies
The world of classical antiquity offers a key to unlock a world that still exists and interacts with our world today. Learning its secrets and importance is not simply studying history, but studying an influence on our present and the future that yet remains "unknown"​
​
Besides gain access to the wonders of classical antiquity, what can a classics student do?
Let The Princeton Review tell you:
​
"We can't overestimate the value of a Classics major. Check this out: according to Association of American Medical Colleges, students who major or double-major in Classics have a better success rate getting into medical school than do students who concentrate solely in biology, microbiology, and other branches of science. Crazy, huh? Furthermore, according to Harvard Magazine, Classics majors (and math majors) have the highest success rates of any majors in law school. Believe it or not: political science, economics, and pre-law majors lag fairly far behind. Even furthermore, Classics majors consistently have some of the highest scores on GREs of all undergraduates."
Time is a webwork that interconnects everything, like a tapestry documenting the story of humanity with a million threads at once. And what seems lost in the past, might just be found in our future.
The Mission
Throughout the studies of a classics student, one will read and interact with classical texts, languages, and myths — diving into the world of the ancients. The student of classical studies will come to understand the way people functioned thousands of years ago in ancient Rome and Greece, understanding both their early culture and identity. Therefore, bringing to light the way humanity and morality has been shaped those who came before the present. Though history is often thought dust in the past, the classical studies student comes to understand that "dust" is rather inklings of the future, lessons and wisdom painting the canvas of our path. It is the mission of the student to bring the wisdom and lessons back to life, to take the knowledge from the world of classical antiquity and find the connections that beset the world.
There is nothing not worth learning, you need only to apply knowledge and the world will reveal its possibilities to you.
Why Classics?
Studying Classics offers the ability to dissect and analyze the ancient roots of contemporary society from two highly influential and vanished civilizations — it provides a classics major the tools to investigate the original clockwork behind the timeline of humanity. As a whole, the major brings forth the opportunity for students to delve into the linguistic, archaeological, mythological, and historical traditions that have influenced people for centuries. With such influence, what might have its roots in ancient Rome or Greece that you use in your everyday life? What word would not exist if not for its use in a classical text? Is there technology today that these classical civilizations hinted at? Classical studies holds not just answers to these questions, but endless possibilities that are ready to present themselves when asked.
