Students in the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies program study the culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as their Old World neighbours, through the interdisciplinary combination of history, literature, and archaeology. Introductory courses explore numerous aspects of the ancient Mediterranean cultures that lie at the foundations of our own society.
Our first-year offerings introduce students to the building blocks and approaches that scholars use to study ancient texts and material remains, and teach skills in written and verbal communication that will serve students in whatever discipline they choose as a major.
At the first year level, students can take in-translation courses (i.e., all readings are in English) and/or study the ancient Greek and/or Latin languages themselves. Our first-year courses are open to all Trent students; there are no prerequisites.
