Administrative Assistant Jordan Hawman 905-688-5550, extension 3575 International Centre 309 brocku.ca/classics Classics is an interdisciplinary field, overlapping all the main areas of the Humanities. The Department of Classics and Archaeology offers courses in ancient Greek (GREE) and Latin (LATI), and courses in Classics (CLAS), embracing ancient civilization in all its aspects: literature, philosophy, education, history, religion, art and archaeology. In general, CLAS courses require no knowledge of Greek or Latin. The Department has special resources for learning about the ancient world. 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 Institute in Greece. The Brock Museum of Cypriote Antiquities, housed in the Department of Classics and Archaeology, 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. Study tours in the Mediterranean are offered by Classics jointly with Visual Arts and other departments. Students are encouraged to consult the Chair, Undergraduate Officer or Academic Adviser to discuss their educational objectives and career plans. Students are advised that graduate programs in Classics require competence in Greek and Latin. Those considering graduate work in Classics should plan to take a minimum of four Greek and/or Latin (GREE/LATI) credits.

Honours Program Go to top of document
Students seeking an Honours degree have a choice of three streams in Classics. A combination of 11 credits in CLAS, LATI and/or GREE is required for each stream:
1.  Ancient Art and Archaeology examines the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East from the perspectives of both visual and material culture. This stream is appropriate for students wishing to pursue advanced study in Classical art and archaeology.
2.  Classical Civilization is an option for those interested in creating their own customized program of study in Classics. Courses in ancient Greek and Latin language (designated GREE, LATI) are encouraged but not required.
3.  Greek and Roman Studies combines the study of Greek and Latin language, and Greek and Roman history, art, religion and literature-in-translation. This stream is appropriate for students wishing to pursue advanced study in Classics, Greek and Roman history or Classical languages.
Student progress will be evaluated annually. To continue in the Honours program students must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in all CLAS, GREE or LATI courses and a minimum 70 percent major average overall. Any student who does not meet these requirements will be placed in the BA with Major program. To re-declare to the Honours program a student must upgrade any CLAS, GREE or LATI course in which the minimum of 60 was not achieved and raise their major average to a minimum 70 percent. Honours majors should consult with the Undergraduate Officer and the Academic Advisor to arrange a suitable program.
