Bachelor of Arts in Classics

CUNY Queens College - Navitas USA

Classics courses, offered in English, expose students to the literature and civilization of the ancient world as presented in the original writings of ancient poets, historians, orators, and philosophers. All reading is done in translation. Beginning and advanced courses in Latin and Ancient Greek provide students with a reading knowledge of the ancient languages. The first year in each case is largely devoted to forms, grammar, and short practice passages. Continuous reading is introduced in the second year.
