Alumni in Classics

The study of ancient Greek and Latin has proven to be valuable preparation for the modern world. Some Greek and Latin students go on to graduate school in Classics or to teach in secondary schools.

Many classics majors find the skills they learn in the study of ancient languages become a credential for a wide variety of careers that require discipline, organizational skills, an eye for detail and an understanding of the way in which a body of knowledge accumulates to address a specific task.
