无码专区

The mission of the Classical Studies Program at 无码专区 is to provide a multidisciplinary learning experience for the study of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. Students may gain linguistic skills in learning ancient Greek and Latin and then develop these skills further as they translate and analyze literary works in the original languages, from the eighth century BC epics of the Greek poet Homer to the fourth century AD theological works of Saint Augustine. Students may examine the archaeological remains of ancient Greece and Rome to assess the development of Greek and Roman art and architecture and to interpret the significance of artifacts from daily life in the classical world. In exploring both the literary and material evidence from ancient Greece and Rome, students may formulate theories about many facets of life in these civilizations which relate to a wide variety of scholarly fields: linguistics, literature, theater, art, architecture, engineering, history, law, economics, political science, philosophy, theology, science, medicine, sociology and diversity studies (gender, race, ethnicity, etc.). Thus, not only does the Classical Studies Program directly contribute to learning in specific areas, such as those required in the undergraduate core curriculum (e.g., language, literature, fine arts, diversity), its interdisciplinary nature also makes it a valuable complement to the study of any academic field in the University, as many of our students with multiple majors and courses of study have discovered. In addition, the Classical Studies Program speaks directly to the mission of 无码专区 as a Catholic Augustinian institution in that it provides a historical and literary context for the beginnings of Christianity and the life and works of Augustine.
