Ancient Studies Ancient Cultures - Saint Joseph's University

Ancient Studies Ancient Cultures from Saint Joseph's University is a Campus Bachelor Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Ten approved courses. All majors must take at least one course in archaeology and attain at least intermediate proficiency in at least one ancient language. Additional requirements are distributed according to each student's concentration within the major. Students with an interest in teaching in Latin or in graduate studies related to Classics (including Classical archaeology) should choose the Classics concentration. The strong emphasis on ancient languages in the Classics concentration is essential for these goals. The Ancient Cultures concentration is an interdisciplinary program that may be appropriate for students who have other career goals but share an interest in the study of antiquity. The Ancient Cultures concentration also more easily accommodates advanced studies in mathematics and computer science, which are vital to archaeology. In both concentrations, courses at the intermediate 200 level in any ancient language may count among the ten courses. Courses at the introductory 100 level in an ancient language cannot be counted among the ten courses unless it is a student's second ancient language and a student satisfies the requirement for intermediate proficiency in another ancient language. Ancient Cultures Concentration of the Ancient Studies Major Ten courses in ancient studies, at least six of which must be at the 300 level or above. At least one must be an archaeology course. The remaining courses may be chosen from any of the groups below. To ensure the interdisciplinary nature of the program, students must take courses from at least three groups. No more than three of these ten courses may be chosen from any one group except in the case of the language group, where no such restriction applies. In addition to achieving intermediate proficiency in at least one ancient language, students must take at least two additional courses in either an ancient language or an appropriate symbolic language. These two courses may be any two advanced courses (above the intermediate level) in the first ancient language; any two courses at any level in a second ancient language; or any two courses in mathematics and/or computer science above MAT 162 (Calculus II) and CSC 120 (Computer Science I). Students who use a symbolic language (mathematics or computer science) instead of an ancient language for this two-course requirement still must take at least ten courses in ancient studies .
