General Information

B.A. and B.A. (Honours) with the Thematic Major: Classics, Religion and Humanities

This Thematic Major, administered by the College of the Humanities and leading to the degrees of B.A. and B.A. (Honours), offers a course of study into the roots of the classical and religious traditions in Classical Antiquity, the ancient Near East, and in the Far East, their developments over the past three millennia, and their legacies for the intellectual, literary, historical, religious, and artistic heritage of the present.

At the core of the Thematic Major are courses in Classics (Classical Civilization and Classical Languages and Literature) and in Religion. Courses in the other humanities disciplines that satisfy the requirements of the Thematic Major are to be chosen from the appended lists. Optional courses may be any courses open to students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Some departments allow first-year students to take 200-level courses, others require second-year standing or permission of the department; many do not require a 100-level course as a prerequisite for their 200-level courses.

In addition to the general degree programme in the Thematic Major, students may pursue one of five Concentrations in Classics or Religion by choosing their courses accordingly: Classics, Classical Languages and Literature, Classical Civilization, Religion, and Jewish Studies.
