Program Overview

Classical studies is a pluridisciplinary field that involves disciplines such as history, literature, religion, languages and linguistics, art history, archaeology, and philosophy, and pertains to the study of wide areas of Europe, North Africa and Asia from c. 2000 BCE to c. 700 CE. The expression 鈥渃lassical鈥 is commonly used to designate the areas and periods populated or dominated by the Greeks and Romans. Yet this was also a complex, heterogeneous, permeable, mixed and constantly evolving world in which the Greeks and the Romans were always intertwined with other peoples and cultures. Classical Studies at UTSC offers students both a thorough examination of the main features of the Greek and Roman worlds and a substantial introduction to the other peoples and cultures which were part of or interacted with it.
