Ancient studies is an interdisciplinary approach to examining the world
of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Students specifically study ancient
architecture, sculpture, painting, art and other material remains. It is
central to Classical Studies, and so students learn to master varieties
of evidence.
Written texts, archaeological remains and the visual arts
are equally important in forming a comprehensive understanding of
antiquity. Thus, almost every Classical Studies course integrates the
study and analysis of art and material culture into its course content.
The
study of “classics” allows students to connect directly with the
foundations of Western Civilization in art, literature, history, and
science and appreciate how these seminal influences have shaped and
continue to shape our culture, our ideas, our traditions.
Students who study Classics will increase their analytical and critical thinking skills as they examine and analyze ancient cultures. They will improve their writing and oral communication abilities.
The
Ransford's Diploma program in the Classical Studies, whether in the original
language or in translation, invites the student not only to appreciate
the cultural achievements of the Greece and Rome through reading from
the literatures and studying the material remains, but to recognize the
vital traces of the classical tradition that have informed the lives of
later generations and are still influential and vital in the lives of
today's society.
