Classics is an interdisciplinary field embracing all areas of classical antiquity: language, history, literature, material culture, philosophy, religion, and so on. Within this broad area, the only limitation on programs of study is the availability of specialists to direct a student’s work. The department offers a special concentration in classical language and literature, classical archaeology, ancient philosophy, and ancient history. The faculty also maintains close links with the Departments of Art and Art History, English, French and Italian, Middle Eastern Studies, History, and Religious Studies, and with the comparative literature program. A cooperative arrangement with the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University makes courses in nautical archaeology and ancient seafaring available for University of Texas at Austin credit.
