Minor in Classics and Comparative Cultures


Program Description

a) A minor must contain at least 9 hours of upper division course work. b) Courses taken to satisfy Core Areas I through V may not be counted as course work in the minor. c) Courses taken in Core Area VI may be counted as course work in the minor.

This minor explores the diverse cultures of Classical antiquity in relation to other cultures, ancient and more recent, for exploration of points of intersection and divergence. It positions the Classical Mediterranean in a global historical and multidisciplinary context by contextualizing the ways that cultures throughout the world have embraced, rejected, challenged, and adapted the legacy of Classical thought, letters, music, art, and architecture.
