Ancient Cultures Minor

The Ancient Cultures minor aims to be a model for visionary, interdisciplinary thinking, offering courses that serve the needs of multiple academic departments as well as the university core curriculum. Courses in ancient language, literature, and civilization complement courses in other disciplines so that students may combine their Ancient Cultures minor with a major in English, fine and performing arts, history, languages, psychology, theology, philosophy, or elementary education. Knowledge of Greek and Latin are not required for civilization courses, which may be taken to fulfill requirements for the minor, to fulfill requirements of the GEP or CCC (e.g., Art, Literature, Diversity, Writing Intensive, Ethics Intensive), or as free electives. These courses are interdisciplinary and stress connections with other disciplines such as history, literature, philosophy, theology, gender studies, and the social and natural sciences.

Students may complete a minor in Ancient Cultures by taking 6 courses at any level that are designated as ancient studies courses in CLA, HIS, HON, LAT, PHL, REL or THE (check course attributes).
