Classical Studies Minor


Banner Code: CLA

Web: classicalstudies.gmu.edu

The minor in Classical studies is designed for students who wish to become familiar with Classical cultures and broaden their knowledge of the foundations of Western civilization. It is especially relevant to students who are studying other areas of the humanities such as English, languages, comparative literature, history, art history, philosophy, or religious studies. The requirements of the minor provide flexibility so students can choose courses that are relevant to their primary interests.

This program of study is an interdisciplinary minor offered by the Department of Modern and Classical Languages .

For policies governing all minors, see the Academic Policies  chapter of this catalog.
