Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Classics] From Sweet Briar College

The College believes that classics has a crucial role in the dialogue with other programs. To encourage those connections, faculty members are committed to an interdisciplinary model of inquiry so that subfields such as?literature,?philosophy,?religion?and?archaeology?are not divided, but work in concert.

This mode of instruction is central to a liberal arts curriculum and the development of active and critical thinking. Our mission finds specific resonance among majors within the program?as well as students fulfilling general education or language proficiency requirements. Students who take Latin and Greek courses to fulfill a language requirement will develop a level of competency sufficient to read and appreciate the literature of the ancient world.
