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.
