The minor in Classical Studies is an academic program open to all students in the university. The focus on the history, beliefs, and material culture of ancient Greek and Roman civilization helps students to see how fundamental concepts of Western Civilization first arose in Classical Antiquity, and is a valuable complement to the academic portfolio of any student majoring in the humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences. A minor in Classics also helps to prepare students for careers in education, international development, non-profit agencies and NGOs, translating and interpreting, public relations and marketing, government service, international law, international business, engineering, global health, and research.
