Classical Studies (CLST)Professor Antonaccio, Chair; Associate Professor Sosin, Director of Undergraduate Studies; Professors Antonaccio, Boatwright, Burian, and Davis; Associate Professors Janan Sosin, and Woods; Assistant Professor González; Professors Emeriti Clay, Newton, Richardson, Rigsby, and StanleyMajors and minors are available in this department.The objective of classical studies is to increase knowledge and understanding of the civilizations of Greece and Rome, part of the roots of Western culture. Toward this aim, the department offers courses in three areas (Latin, Greek, and classical studies) and two majors (classical languages, classical civilization). Concentration in the languages offers students opportunities to explore at first hand the literature, history, and thought of antiquity. In the process of learning Greek and/or Latin, students will gain a deeper insight into language itself, as well as an appreciation of the problems of interpretation and the varieties of evidence upon which interpretation may be based. For students interested in history, ancient art, or archaeology, courses in classical civilization offer a means of assessing the culture and the material remains of Greece and Rome in their own rich and varied context.Students considering careers not in classical studies or a closely related discipline will also enjoy the benefits from either major offered by the department. The experience of analyzing language, literature, artifacts and architecture, and other ancient subjects will hone their intellectual abilities well for any profession.Courses offered at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome are listed at the end of each section below.CLASSICAL STUDIES (CLST)11S.

The cost of a semester at either institution is comparable to that of Duke. Financial assistance usually can be transferred, and arrangements are made through the university.
