Classical Studies Program
Classical
Studies includes the study of Greek and Latin and of ancient history and
civilization, extending from the Paleolithic to the fall of the Roman
Empire in the West in A.D. 476, which have formed the core of liberal
arts learning in the West for centuries. The Classical Studies minor
incorporates courses drawn from the language, literature, philosophy,
history, archaeology, art, theatre, geography, religious studies and
Jewish studies programs, offering students an opportunity to specialize
in the disciplines of antiquity.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Classical Studies is expanding its ancient language offerings! Professor Ballengee, English, will be offering elementary Greek on an irregular basis; and this fall Prof McLucas, Foreign Languages, will offer an Advanced Latin Readings course. Students who wish to take either Elementary Greek or Intermediate Latin (since neither are offered at Towson this coming fall) should contact Susan Hyman or Sally Rominski in Enrollment Services, Room 235 (410-704-2007) to get information about the Baltimore Student Exchange Program, which allows full-time Towson undergraduates to take courses at local state and private universities for no extra tuition.
The following link is to a list of local schools offering Greek and Latin in Fall 2008.
