Classical Studies - Bard College

Classical Studies from Bard College is a Campus Bachelor Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Classical Studies students seek to understand the ancient Mediterranean world, especially Greece and Rome, both on its own terms and as part of a larger nexus of ancient cultures that laid much of the groundwork for the ideas of the city, the nation, and the role of the individual within a civic and national context. The literature, art, and history of the ancient world all contribute to our understanding of these foundational cultures. The Classical Studies Focus: Concentrators study the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome and their influence on later western culture. Courses are offered in classical history, philosophy, rhetoric, art history, literature (tragedy, comedy, epic, myth, and lyric, as well as the prose genres of the ancient novel and historiography), and a variety of cultural practices, including the areas of athletics, religion, and gender. Moderation requires at least four courses in Classics or related disciplines. The Senior Project would be written on a literary, historical, or cultural aspect of the Greco-Roman world, working closely with members of the core Classics faculty.
