Classics is the study of ancient Greece and Rome from the Late Bronze Age to the waning of the Roman Empire. The Department of Classics at Notre Dame provides instruction in the ancient Greek and Latin languages, Greek and Roman literature, and in the history, culture, and archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world. Students explore that world—from the Greece of Homer to the Athens of Plato and Plutarch, from the Rome of Cicero and Caesar to the Italy of Vergil to the Africa of Augustine—in two major programs of study and a variety of minor options. A broad survey of the literature, history, and culture of Greece and Rome is provided by the Classical Civilizations Major, which does not require Latin or Greek. The Major in Classics adds close study of the ancient languages.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.

We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom—they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
