We offer several undergraduate majors and minors, including an honors option, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. Areas of strength include Greek and Latin literature and social, political, architectural, and intellectual history. Collectively, we emphasize the long and complex story of how diverse communities of the Mediterranean basin, western Eurasia, and beyond have engaged with classical culture and thought from antiquity through the Middle Ages, the early modern period, and up to the present day. Because we are a small and collegial department, students have the opportunity to work closely with distinguished faculty and to develop individualized, and often interdisciplinary, curricular paths fitted to their own interests and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n        \n          \n          \n          \n          \n          \n          \n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--editorial-cards \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--editorial-cards\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <div class=\"cards-container\">\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/upcoming-events\/\" >\n                  \n                    Events\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/undergraduate\/\" >\n                  \n                    Undergraduate\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/graduate-program\/\" >\n                  \n                    Graduate\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/spring-2025-course-offerings\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                  \n                    Courses\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/resources\/\" >\n                  \n                    Resources\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/history\/\" >\n                  \n                    History of the Department\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"card\">\n\n          \n          <div class=\"text-container\">\n            \n                            <h3>\n                                      <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/clas\/undergraduate-working-group-in-latin-chinese-translation-studies\/\" >\n                  \n                    Latin-Chinese Project\n\n                                      <\/a>\n                                  <\/h3>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--video-with-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--video-with-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          NEWS: Check Out This Former Classics PhD Student on the Assassin\u2019s Creed Podcast\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Deirdre Klokow is an Assistant Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Texas at Austin; she moved to Texas after completing her PhD in Classics at the University of Southern California in 2023.
