Arts & Sciences students beyond their first year wishing to declare a major or minor can do so by going to听Buff Portal Advising,听logging in, clicking on the tile 鈥渕eet with a different advisor/update your major/minor鈥, and following the instructions.
Arts & Sciences students in their first year wishing to change their major should see a First Year advisor (contact information above).
Students in Colleges other than Arts & Sciences wishing to declare a Classics major will need to gain admission to the College of Arts & Sciences first and should make an appointment with听Rick Seydel听to explore the process.
All students should feel welcome to make an appointment with the听Classics faculty advisor听to discuss the department鈥檚 two major tracks, our minor, and our courses. The faculty advisor holds regular office hours and is also available by email and by phone.听
Students making progress towards a Classics major or minor are invited each semester to schedule an individual advising听appointment with the faculty advisor, at which they explore any field-specific topics, such as writing an honors thesis in Classics or studying abroad in Classics programs, or discuss their progress to degree, select courses for the following semester, and, where possible,听chart out their plans for the longer-range future.
