Degree Programs & Plans

Faculty of Arts and Science Page

The Department of Classics & Archaeology offers Major, Joint Honours and Minor concentrations leading to a Bachelor of Arts Honours (BAH) degree, and a general plan leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Students have several plans from which to choose:

 

Classical Studies (CLST) Plans

In these plans, students are able to select from a broad spectrum of courses in classical literature, culture, archaeology, history, mythology, humour, ancient science, and drama, and the ancient languages of Greek and Latin. Although it is possible for students to obtain a Classical Studies degree without taking Latin or Greek, the Department highly recommends that Classics & Archaeology students study at least one of the Classical languages.
