Mission Statement
The Classics
Department offers a personalized, broad, and rigorous program to meet the
specific needs of those who wish to major or minor in Latin, Greek, or
Classics. Many other students
are also served by the department, especially through the general
education program. The department views its mission as serving the college
at large by addressing the curricular concerns of both the Classics major
or minor and the general education student.
The goal of the
Classics Department is to inform the
In order to
accomplish these objectives, the department offers a wide variety of
courses which are designed to serve the needs of all Monmouth college
students as well as majors and minors. While some courses require
competency in reading Latin or Greek, this level of proficiency can easily
be reached by students who will not be majors or even minors.
A glance at the
curriculum offered by the Classics Department illustrates a broad spectrum
of courses offered in language, literature, history, mythology,
archaeology, art, sport, urban planning, and other relevant topics.
Assignments in Classics courses are designed to take advantage of the
unique skills, interests, and background of individual students, who are
encouraged to submit their course work not only in the form of traditional
term papers and written reports, but also as oral presentations, music,
artwork, and websites on the internet. (revised May, 2014) This webpage was prepared by Professor Thomas J. Sienkewicz of Monmouth College. If you have any questions, you can contact him at toms@monm.edu. |
