Languages, Cultures, and Linguistics Department Faculty

The surviving works of literature and art inherited from classical Greece and Rome have been foundational to Western European culture. From the classical world have come the patterns within which intellectual thought has developed, the models from which canons of aesthetic excellence have been formed and the languages in which the original literary works were written, including more than 1,000 years of Christian theology.

The student who majors in Classics will acquire preparation that can key into any of the liberal arts, as well as provide enrichment for personal satisfaction. Students interested in pre-law, pre-medicine, education, and many of the sciences are encouraged to consider the classics offerings as electives, as are Business majors aspiring to management.

Admission to the Classics Major
Applicants for a major in Classics must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in all college work applicable to the BA degree and a 2.5 GPA in 10 credits of coursework at SPU in classics and/or Latin.

Since the major is student-designed, the student must work closely with the classics advisor. A student must complete the major requirements in effect when the student is admitted to the major.

Note: Classical Latin courses appear under the Latin program requirements.
