What You Will Study
The minor in Hellenic Studies introduces students to a diachronic and interdisciplinary study of the Greek world from antiquity to the present day. Students will have the opportunity to engage with the Greek world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives in the fields of the humanities (history, language, literature, philosophy, art history and archaeology) and social sciences (anthropology and sociology). They will gain fundamental integrative knowledge and understanding of different aspects of the Greek world throughout its lengthy and rich history, and learn how to value connections among various academic disciplines.
The minor is associated with the Institute of Hellenic Culture and the Liberal Arts and offers an excellent pathway for undergraduate students to complement their major in area studies or more broadly in the humanities and social sciences.
