Course Overview
What are the program's goals? The aim of the Tri-Campus Program is to provide an educational environment for pursuing a graduate career in classics that is closely integrated into the main currents of humanistic and social scientific scholarship. The program's faculty recognizes that today and in the future, teachers of the classics must possess and develop expertise beyond the standard specialties of the traditional classics PhD degree. Classics programs, in both large research universities and small liberal arts colleges, increasingly feel the pressure to break down the boundaries between disciplines. To achieve these goals, the program and curriculum are designed around five principles: Study the ancient texts and objects in their wider social, cultural, and historical contexts. Bring the culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans into the purview of contemporary literary and sociological theory. Examine the reception of ancient literature and culture by later cultures and the appropriation of the ancient world by the modern world. Pay particular attention to the intersections of Greek and Roman society and culture with each other and with the other cultures of the ancient world. Utilize, to the fullest the potential, new computing technologies as tools for research and teaching.
