Bachelor of Arts - Greek and Roman Studies - Languages and Literatures

Hofstra’s program in Greek and Roman Studies offers language training in ancient Greek and Latin at all levels. By the third semester students are prepared to read and analyze Greek and Latin texts like Virgil's Aeneid and Plato's Symposium in their original language. 

The Greek and Roman Studies program will introduce students to authors, texts, and ideas that constitute the foundational literature of the Western tradition. Students will benefit from learning to read, critique, and analyze ancient Greek and Roman literature.

The proximity to New York City allows students to enrich their classroom training with visits to the Greek and Roman wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the neo-classical collection at the Dahesh Museum of Art, and the city's classically oriented exhibitions, theatrical offerings, and cultural events.
