Classics-History-Politics

ADVISERS:

Classics-History-Politics has several components: The first is a historical requirement which provides students with a basic chronological knowledge of what has happened from antiquity to the twentieth century. The second is a historiographical requirement to help students understand the methods necessary to study subjects historically, and to understand the varying uses to which historical knowledge has been put. Third, students must write a senior thesis, enabling them to strike out on a path of independent research that synthesizes the learning acquired in the major. Fourth, students must acquire proficiency in two languages, normally one ancient (Latin or Greek) and one modern language. This is to enable students to enter more fully into past worlds of experience and into current worlds of experience decidedly different from our own, and to deepen their scholarly abilities.
