Classics is the study of Greek and Latin languages--a way to learn how to really use one's mother tongue-- and of Greek and Roman cultural products, histories etc. as objects in themselves and models for individual and collective lives in the present. This used to be elite education, required of all liberal arts students. Now it’s democratically available.

Our program is an area study with connections to other areas: anthropology, linguistics, religion and myth, philosophy, history, history of science, politics, art and archaeology, comparative literature and performing arts. Its center is the languages and literature, available to students as a major with varying emphases and intensities.

We invite you to explore Classics at Colorado College.  Through the links, you can meet our faculty, delve into our course offerings, view the syllabi for several courses, and examine the requirements for majoring in Classics, as well as related interdisciplinary programs. You can also investigate the official department reading list, or visit the online home of the Colorado Classics Association, hosted by CC.
