Classics is the study of the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. Both cultures have had a profound influence on life in the Western world, especially in the areas of language and literature, art and architecture, politics and religion, and science and philosophy. The classics faculty at Wright State offers classes in most of these areas.
The Latin major allows students to focus primarily on the study of the Latin language, literature, and culture. Students are required to take 7 semesters of the Latin language. Additional electives cover courses in a diverse range of subjects relating to the study of the Classical world.
