BA Honors in Classics

Interested in the Honors Degree in Classics?

Joining the Classics Honors program will give you the opportunity to be part of a small cohort of students with similar interests and talents. You will have the chance to research and write a major project that reflects your main academic interests, and you will work closely with a faculty adviser/mentor. A Classics Honors degree will also strengthen your application to graduate school, law school, or wherever your life path may take you.

The deadline to apply is March 1.

Honors Classics students are allowed to take a higher number of courses in Classics, Greek, or Latin than those in the regular BA program. In your third or fourth year, you’ll take Class 503 (*1), which is a weekly pro-seminar exclusively for Honors Classics students. In your final year, you will research and write the Classics honors essay (*3), working closely with a professor in the department.

The full Calendar description of the Classics program is here.

We look forward to working with you!
