Ancient History
History courses (HIST) that focus on ancient Greece and/or Rome may be counted toward a Classics degree program. Students interested in ancient history may also choose to complete a History degree program (Minor, Major, Honors, Joint Honors) that concentrates on the Greek and Roman world. It is recommended that students consult with a History program advisor to design a course of study that emphasizes ancient Greece and Rome while fulfilling all degree requirements for the program. Please consult the History Programs page for specific program requirements.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete HIST 205,preferably in their first year, before taking 300-level or higher courses in Ancient History.
