Classics is the study of the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome.

The Classics department at Wright State offers classes in most of these areas.

The Greek major allows students to focus primarily on the study of Greek language, literature, and culture.  Students are required to take 7 semesters of Greek language.  Additional electives cover courses in a diverse range of subjects relating to the student of the Classical world.
