Bachelor of Arts in International Letters and Cultures (Classics)

Program Overview

Classics is the study of the literature, art, history and philosophy of the ancient Greeks and Romans --- a transdisciplinary field that fueled the Renaissance and that has continued to provide an intellectual foundation for innovative and influential people ever since.

The BA program in international letters and cultures with a concentration in classics begins with two cores: language skills in ancient Greek or Latin (or, if the student chooses, both) and knowledge of ancient history. With that basis, students build a program to meet their needs and interests. Among the variety of topics students pursue are:

  • Ancient history, war, politics and economics
  • Literary classics such as Homer, Sophocles, Virgil and Ovid
  • The archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world
  • The art and architecture of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
  • The mythology and religious practices of the Greeks and Romans
  • The thought of figures such as Plato, Aristotle and Lucretius
  • The use of the classics in today's film, books and other media

In addition to the concentration in classics, ASU also offers a classical civilization concentration with a similar focus but different language requirements. Students should consult their advisor and choose the concentration that best meets their needs.
