Classical Studies Minor

Classical studies, or "classics," refers to the study of the languages and literature of ancient Greece and Rome. These seemingly far-off worlds have had an enormous influence on Western civilization. Classical culture seeps into today's philosophy, literature, law, politics, mathematics and many other fields. By studying the classics, you will be able to rediscover some of this glorious heritage, while also gaining proficiency in the Latin and Greek languages.At Gordon, you will pursue classical studies alongside professors and peers who desire to relate their studies to their Christian faith. Together, you will think about such questions as "What does Jerusalem (the Christian church) have to do with Athens (ancient Greece and Rome) " Gordon's classical studies program has a strong track record of sending students to the Logos Conference in Oxford, a summer workshop on ancient biblical texts.
