Our graduates successfully combine study in language, literature, history, and archaeology. These fields are allied with training in Philosophy, History in Art, Political Science, Medieval Studies, or Anthropology, to name a few disciplines. Our alumni are thoroughly prepared for careers in such fields as education, law, public service, journalism, library science, theology, or for continued study at the graduate level to work in academia. The study of the Greek and Latin languages is one of the best methods for learning the principles of English grammar and vocabulary and the art of clear, concise expression. Virtually all careers require the control of language and the historical perspective that the study of ancient Greece and Rome can provide. In the business world, too, employers increasingly state their desire to hire students with a background in the Humanities who can think independently, conduct research, and express themselves clearly. The success of Greek and Roman Studies Alumni proves this.
