Those who value education because they value the ability to think clearly and express ideas powerfully, often choose the liberal arts. The Classical Studies Minor is proposed to expose students to the very foundation of the liberal arts and “Western Tradition.” A minor in Classical Studies can serve as a prestigious and powerful springboard for professional careers in areas such as law, journalism, medicine, and business. Those who are interested in the beauty and study of antiquity may also pursue careers in teaching, academics, or museum work. The Classical Studies minor is comprised of courses which span different departments and colleges.
