Administrative Assistant Leslie Longo-Viccica 905-688-5550, extension 3575 Schmon Tower 1121 http://www.brocku.ca/classics/ Classics is an interdisciplinary field, overlapping all the main areas of the humanities. The Department of Classics offers two types of courses: courses in Greek or Latin language and literature; and courses in Classics, embracing ancient civilization in all its aspects: literature, philosophy, education, history, religion and art and archaeology. In general, CLAS courses require no knowledge of Greek or Latin. The department has special resources for illustrating ancient life. Archaeological training sessions are conducted in the summer in Mediterranean lands. Brock is a contributing member to several research and teaching institutions located in the Mediterranean including the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the Canadian Archaeological Institute in Athens. The Brock Museum of Cypriote Antiquities contains a representative collection of art and artifacts from the Neolithic period to beyond the Roman Empire. The Niagara Peninsula Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, in conjunction with the department, organizes archaeological programs and lectures. A study tour of Rome is offered jointly by Classics and Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures. The brochure Classics at Brock contains further information about the Classics department and its programs. Students are encouraged to consult the Department Chair to discuss their educational objectives and career plans. |

Students majoring in Classics are required to complete one credit in one language other than English to fulfill the Humanities language requirement. Where half credit courses are used to satisfy the requirement, both half credits must be in the same language. Note that either Greek or Latin, as required for a Classics degree, also fulfills the Humanities language requirement. Students are advised that graduate programs in Classics require competence in Greek and Latin. Those considering graduate work in Classics (including classical archaeology) should plan to go beyond the minimum four GREE/LATI credits required in the Classical Studies honours program. |
