About this program

The Bachelor of Arts in Classics at the University of Dallas offers a comprehensive exploration of ancient civilizations, particularly those of Greece and Rome. The program immerses students in the languages, literature, history, and cultures of classical antiquity, providing deep insights into the foundational texts and thoughts that have shaped western civilization. Students engage with primary sources in their original languages—such as Latin and Ancient Greek—and develop a nuanced understanding of the socio-political contexts that surrounded these works.

Throughout the course, students will analyze significant literary and philosophical texts, study archaeological findings, and examine the art and architecture of ancient worlds. This multi-disciplinary approach helps students acquire a well-rounded perspective on how classical ideas resonate in modern thought. Furthermore, students can expect to participate in workshops, seminars, and potential field trips, allowing them to experience firsthand the remnants of classical cultures.

The program promotes critical thinking and analytical skills, encouraging students to articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively. By studying classics in the rich cultural setting of the University of Dallas, located in a vibrant city, students benefit from diverse cultural interactions and a supportive academic community.
