Classics

The Classics major at the University of Georgia provides students with an opportunity to pursue studies in Greek and Roman literature, history, archaeology, art, philosophy, and religion without concentrating on the ancient languages—although some study in Latin and/or Greek is strongly encouraged. 

An Archaeology Concentration is available and provides students with an opportunity to study the archaeology, languages, art, and history of the Greeks and Romans while also offering archaeological field experience on a classical site.

Career opportunities for graduates include teaching at the secondary level, non-teaching academic positions, museum work, library work, editorial work, positions in the travel and tourist industry, and government positions in foreign service.  The major also prepares students to enter graduate school in classics, comparative literature, linguistics, history, and other fields for university teaching positions. Other opportunities include careers in law, journalism, and business.
