Honours BA in Greek and Roman Studies
In the BA program with Specialization in Greek and Roman Studies, you will be provided with a multidisciplinary perspective on the Greco-Roman world that includes the study of ancient languages (Latin and Greek), Greek and Roman history and literature, and an introduction to the archeology, art history and religions of Ancient Greece and Rome. You get to choose your curriculum based on your personal interests. You are provided with the option between Classical Literature, which features a curriculum entirely in Greek and Latin; or Classical Studies, which presents a historical overview of Ancient Greece and Rome. Note that in both cases, you must take a six-credit language course in Latin.

With a Major in Greek and Roman Studies, you will be provided with a foundation of knowledge about the Greco-Roman world. This multidisciplinary approach covers everything from ancient history to literature, including archeology and Latin. You will be completing a six-credit language course in Latin. You can complete your undergraduate degree by adding a second major, combining the study of Ancient Greece and Rome with another area of interest, such as philosophy or history.
