Program Overview
Classical studies is a pluridisciplinary field within the Humanities exploring ancient Greek and Roman worlds. The studies involve disciplines such as history, literature, religion, languages and linguistics, art history, archaeology, and philosophy and pertain to wide areas of Europe, Asia, and North Africa from ca. 2000 B.C. to 700 A.D. Classical studies at UTSC offers students both a thorough examination of the main features of the Greek and Roman civilizations and a substantial introduction to the other peoples and cultures which were part of or interacted with it.
