Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Classical Civilization] From Boston University

Through the study of the founding cultures of the Western world, students explore issues of enduring importance in ethics, politics, art, literature, and history; they consider how later ages interpreted and utilized the classical tradition; and they reflect on the continuing relevance of past to present. Introductory courses in ancient civilization and history provide a foundation for more advanced courses responding to students’ particular interests, such as in literature, religion, myth, history, gender, or language. This major provides an excellent foundation for students interested in archaeology, mythology and religion, philosophy, history, and a wide range of other humanistic disciplines, as well as providing a solid foundation for law school or medical school.
