The BA in Classics at the University of Virginia provides students with a deep engagement in the languages, literature, and material culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Students study Greek and Latin texts in their original languages while exploring ancient philosophy, history, art, and mythology. This interdisciplinary degree fosters analytical rigor, cultural literacy, and linguistic precision, all while drawing connections between antiquity and modern society. It’s ideal for those interested in archaeology, law, philosophy, linguistics, or graduate studies in the humanities. UVA’s Classics program promotes close faculty mentorship, manuscript studies, and experiential learning through archaeological opportunities.
