Students can unlock the secrets of the Greek and Roman civilization and the origins of the Western world. They can benefit not only from small classes and a close-knit student community but also from the department's library and even its on-campus museum. Students will take advantage of volunteer opportunities in the museum to gain first-hand experience working with artifacts from the Classical world.
