If you study the Classics as an undergraduate at Harvard, you'll become familiar with at least one of the ancient languages, learn how to handle complex evidence, and write persuasively, while acquiring an appreciation for key aspects of the cultural legacy of two of the civilizations that have most shaped the modern world.

Undergraduates may incorporate study of the Classics into their academic program in several ways: (1) Classics as a Concentration; (2) Classics as one half of a Joint Concentration; (3) Classical Civilizations as a Secondary Field; (4) Language Citation in either Latin, Ancient Greek, or Modern Greek.
