Claire Meriwether Jungk

Major: Classics
Minors: Theatre and Business Management
(Spring 2021)

I've learned and grown so much during my time in CU Classics. It has given me a new appreciation for history, the arts, and so much else that I had never considered before, and I’m extremely grateful for that!

Camryn Lea Mata

Majors: Classics and Evolutionary Biology
(Spring 2021)

I am so happy I decided to pursue a Classics major! I have loved every single course I have taken, and each professor is so accomplished and inspiring. I felt lucky to be in the room learning about my favorite topics with such amazing people!

James E. O'Rourke

Major: Classics
(Spring 2021)

Studying Classics at CU has really been a blast! I've enjoyed having a chance to learn in-depth about ancient civilizations and their literature, and taking what I’ve learned into my future outside CU.

James Patrick Tranchetti

Major: Classics
(Fall 2020)

I enjoyed the depth in which I could study Latin and improve my understanding and competence with the language. I also valued the department's willingness (and patience) to answer my many questions and to direct me to the proper resources to help me dive deeper into the knowledge and scholarship of Classics. I also appreciated the unique circumstances in which I was able to learn side-by-side with the graduate students in courses, even though I was only an undergraduate.

Cassius Holton Abraham

Major: Classics
Minor: Creative Writing
(Summer 2021)

Classics has been the highlight of my college career. It has taught me so much about history, human behavior, art/archaeology, and storytelling. I was always fascinated with the subject, but never thought that I would major in it. Thanks to my Classics professors at CU, I have awakened the intellectual curiosity inside of me and there is so much more to learn, places to go to, and things to discover!

Featured Undergraduate Minors

Kayleigh Elizabeth Cornell

Major: Anthropology
Minors: Classics, Education, Geology, and Leadership Studies
(Spring 2021)

I really enjoyed the diversity of classes I could take in the Classics minor and felt like I came away from them with a wide range of experience and new ways of thinking critically about the ancient world.

Benjamin Marcel Frydman

Major: Psychology
Minor: Classics
(Summer 2021)

I loved everything that Classics had to offer me. I learned an immense amount about how the ancient world functioned and how it reflects the world today. I mostly enjoyed Greek tragedies, comedies, and the Homeric myths.
