Information for Incoming Students

古典学是在古代地中海和古代近东更广泛的背景下对古希腊和罗马世界的研究. Our discipline combines the study of art history, archaeology, history, literature, philosophy, and the languages of Greek and Latin. 我们的学生使用这些多种视角,以便更好地理解和更好地想象生活在我们之前数千年的民族的多样性, to reflect on what this past has meant to later ages, 并更多地了解它如何在今天继续塑造我们自己的思想.

请注意,本系还为大一新生开设了许多考古学和古典文学课程, and have spaces set aside especially for first-year students. These classes do not require any knowledge of Latin or Greek, nor do they require any prior study of the Classical World. For fall 2024, this includes a first year writing seminar, CLAS 1017 The Heroic Age: Ancient Supermen and Wonder Women, ARCH 1103 Egyptian Archaeology, CLAS 2103 Then and Now: The Erasure of Indigenous Voices, CLAS 2736 Ancient Greek Medicine, CLAS 2787 Thucydides and the Invention of Political Theory, and CLAS 3310 Imagining Rome.

Students interested in beginning Latin should enroll in LATN 1101 Elementary Latin I which is offered in the fall. Students interested in beginning Greek should enroll in GRK 1101 Elementary Greek I, which is offered in the spring. 因为语言学习的顺序性和系里课程的模式, students should plan on taking both semesters of Latin over one academic year; students interested in the elementary Greek sequence should plan to take GRK 1101 Elementary Greek I in the spring and GRK 1102 Elementary Greek II the following fall.

Students who have studied Latin or Greek in high school, 以及对在买球平台学习拉丁语或希腊语感兴趣的学生, 是否应在入学前的夏季完成黑板上的拉丁语或希腊语分班问卷. 为了提出安置建议,我们会考虑过去的学习情况, AP and SAT II scores, and a brief conversation with the student about their interests. 大多数一年级继续学习拉丁语的学生都选了这两门课 LATN 2203 Intermediate Latin for Reading or LATN 2206 The Roman Novel. 然而,拥有特别强大背景的学生可以报名参加 LATN 3306 The Roman Novel. Most first-year students who are continuing Greek enroll in GRK 1102 Elementary Greek II.
