There are two major concentrations in Classics at Hofstra:
- The concentration in Classical Languages and Literatures emphasizes language training in ancient Greek and/or Latin and provides the student with a strong background in classical literature and in related areas of study within classics—for example, ancient history, philosophy, art history, and the religious traditions of Greece and Rome and early Christianity.
- The concentration in Classical Civilizations focuses on the literatures of antiquity (taught in translation), along with additional emphases in the ancient languages, and in related areas of study within classics —for example, ancient history, philosophy, art history, and the religious traditions of Greece and Rome and early Christianity.
Classics majors interested in pursuing the study of law and/or medicine should take courses emphasizing the origins of medical and legal thought in antiquity. HIST 123 and SPCM 5 are recommended for students interested in law and CLL 46 is recommended for students interested in medicine.
