Courses cover ancient Greece and Rome, but also other ancient Mediterranean cultures, such as the Egyptian and Hittite. Great works of epic, history, philosophy, religion, drama, and oratory, are read and discussed in translation. Courses on myth and archaeology are also offered. Courses in ancient Greek and Latin are optional, but Classical Civilization students often enjoy taking a couple semesters of an ancient language.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: none;\n\t\t\t}\t\n\t\n\t.notinpdf{\n\t\tdisplay:none;\n\t}\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n\t\n\tdl {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: max-content auto;\n}\n\ndt {\n  grid-column-start: 1;\n}\n\ndd {\n  grid-column-start: 2;\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<h3>Classical Latin Language and Literature Major Concentration<\/h3> <p>The Classical Latin Language and Literature concentration requires the completion of 33 credits, including the following.
