Program Goals

The Classics Major provides a rigorous introduction to the languages and cultures of Greco-Roman Antiquity. It lays the foundations of the classical and Christian humanism that has characterized Jesuit education at its best.

The program is designed to help students achieve:

• the ability to read Greek and/or Latin texts
• familiarity with classical literature, history, and art
• a broader and deeper understanding of cultural practices around the world
• increased mastery of the liberal arts of thinking and communication
• the moral and intellectual freedom to choose one's path in life
