Honors

The Honors Track in Classics challenges students to deepen their understanding of classical language, literature, and civilization by undertaking a significant research project guided by a member of the Classics faculty. Students should plan for their Honors Track work during junior year, and must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
