Classical Studies (BA)

The Classical Studies degree program provides an excellent education in culture, history and language for people who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree, attending law school or considering a degree in teaching.

The Classical Studies program focuses on classical Greek and Roman culture and civilization. Students take classes highlighting ancient literature, Latin language, religion, military traditions, mythology, philosophy, art and architecture, social and political thought and historians.

The cultural and linguistic legacy of the ancient Romans and Greeks is emphasized while students learn the fundamentals of the Latin language. A cross-listed anthropology course provides students with an opportunity to engage in basic archaeological research through integrated laboratory sessions, field trips and excavations.

• "There is a large focus on research at the undergraduate level which does not always happen at larger universities. This gives Nipissing science students a path to further education and graduate schools."
• "It is in a very scenic, northern setting. There are many trails on campus and a pond and waterfall to relax by to relieve stress and just think."
• "The residences here are amazing with excellent dons and managers and activities. The residences are new and have amazing laundry, phone and kitchen facilities."
• "Recreational and athletic programs offer a wide variety, lots of activities to sign up for, appropriate for all levels of skill."
