Classical Studies Philological - Bard College

Classical Studies Philological from Bard College is a Campus Bachelor Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. A student who 'loves language' (the root meaning of philology) can follow a traditional philological course of study, consisting of intensive work in the ancient languages (Greek, Latin, Sanskrit). The student also chooses among elective courses on ancient civilization, history, art history, philosophy, religion, and literature in English translation. Moderation requires having begun one year of an ancient language and at least two other courses in Classics or related disciplines; concentrators will study at least one year of a second ancient language, and are also strongly encouraged to take coursework in linguistics. The Senior Project involves close textual work in the original language, translating and interpreting relevant ancient texts. The philological focus is especially suited for a student interested in keeping open the option of pursuing graduate work in Classics. A student who is interested less in language than in the study of ancient history or culture (reading the ancient texts largely in translation), or who is interested in taking only one ancient language, follows one of two other focuses, Classical Studies and Ancient Studies.
