Classics and Religious Studies
The Department of Classics and Religious Studies is responsible for two distinct sets of undergraduate programs, one in classics and one in religious studies.
Classics
The concern of the field of classics is Greek and Roman civilization in its entirety: Greek and Latin language and literature, linguistics, ancient history, art and archaeology, religion, mythology, and philosophy.
The classics sector participates in the honours program in Latin and English studies and in the interdisciplinary concentration in mediaeval studies.
A well-balanced training in Latin, Greek, archaeology, and ancient history is an excellent preparation for continuing study in many academic and professional areas. An undergraduate degree in classics may lead to a career in, for example, teaching, administration, law, library sciences, government, or museum work.
For students from other departments and faculties, the classics sector offers a selection of service courses including mythology, civilization, ancient art, archaeology, and Latin.
The classics sector is responsible for courses with codes beginning with CLA (courses not requiring a knowledge of Greek or Latin) and LCL (Greek and Latin courses).
Religious Studies
The religious studies sector approaches the teaching and research of religious phenomena in the same manneras one would any category of facts accessible to human experience and observation.
The disciplines that play a role in the study of religions are primarily, history, sociology, anthropology and psychology. Moreover, in the modern context, such a study must take into account the plurality of religious traditions and expressions in society and examine the relationships among them.
Research into the meaning of religious phenomena is carried out through analysis and comparison of the various forms of religious expression, both in the past and present. The sector does not consider any tradition to be normative.
In addition, the sector puts particular emphasis on the study of the relation between religions and cultures. In this context it offers an intercultural studies option within its honours program. This option allows students to acquire the kind of intercultural expertise currently in increasing demand in our multicultural and religiously pluralistic society.
The sector of religious studies is responsible for courses with codes beginning with SRS.

Honours BA in Latin and English Studies | 120 |
|
The honours program in Latin and English, jointly sponsored by the departments of Classics and Religious Studies and of English, offers students the opportunity to study the extensive influence exerted by Latin literature and classical culture on British literature. The program emphasizes the early periods of English literature, when classical influence was still strong in European culture. On the Latin side, a course in Medieval Latin is offered as a means of bridging the two components of the program.
The program is designed to address a wide range of intellectual issues, from problems of comparative literature, literary influence, translation and intertextuality, to fundamental historical questions, such as the ways in which a society appropriates the past in order to define itself.
Students interested in enrolling in the program should consult the undergraduate academic advisor in either department. |
