Department Chair: D. Matz, Ph.D.
The goal of the department is to contribute firsthand knowledge of Greek and Latin literature, for it is in this body of writings that the student may discern most of the concepts upon which our Western World bases its culture.
The general courses in the classics offer broad background for non-major students. The more advanced and specialized courses emphasize the contributions made by outstanding political, literary and intellectual figures of Greek and Roman times.
