Duke’s BS in Classical Civilization fuses archaeology, digital humanities, and comparative literature to illuminate Greece and Rome’s enduring influence. Students reconstruct battle tactics with GIS topography, analyze papyri in multispectral labs, and code text-mining scripts to map intertextuality in Latin epic. Excavation seasons in Sicily and the Peloponnese provide hands-on stratigraphy, while campus makerspaces enable tactile experiments with ancient engineering—from water screws to catapults.
