Overview

Key Features

The Classics program at Brock University emphasizes a holistic approach to the Greek and Roman worlds, encourages the study of languages, literature and history, and assigns prominence to historical context and material culture, especially promoting active archaeological research and travel to the Mediterranean.

Students have the option to continue their study of Greek and Latin to ensure that they can access the wealth of literary and documentary sources which have survived and still continue to surface. The program also assigns prominence to historical context and material culture, promoting active archaeological research and travel to the Mediterranean, in particular. The program is structured on the principle that these diverse approaches inform one another and produce a cross disciplinary, well-rounded, and thus broader understanding of the world and legacy of the Greeks and Romans.

Specializations

In addition to the general MA program (Critical Ancient Studies), students may specialize in one of two “fields”: one in Classical Art and Archaeology and one in Text and Culture.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Archaeological Ethics

Slaves and Slavery in the Greek World

Caesar’s Gallic Wars
