From the epic poetry of Homer to the rise of Christianity in the pagan world, the field of classics explores the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome.
The Canisius Advantage
Canisius College offers courses in classical art, literature, mythology, religion, philosophy, history, and the Greek and Latin languages. These studies have always been an integral part of a liberal-arts education in general and of Jesuit education in particular. The classics minor gives students the opportunity for intensive instruction in the translation of ancient works. Almost all ancient Greek and Latin literature is available through the Classics Department's computer resources.
The minor in classics can be a valuable complement to whatever major you choose. Many professions prize the combination of intelligence and discipline identified with classics.
The Classics department is also connected to the Mediterranean Center for Arts and Sciences, in Syracuse, Sicily, which has rich offerings in Classics.
