Welcome to the Department of Classical Studies at Trinity University!

Founded in 1988, the department currently has five full-time faculty members; this year we are conducting a search for a sixth member. The department prides itself on its interdisciplinarity, with faculty of the department collaborating with colleagues across the university.

The department offers majors and minors in Ancient Greek, Latin, Classical Languages, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. Throughout the term, classics course offerings are complemented by frequent play readings, colloquia, visiting lecturers, and even movies. Classics courses are an integral part of the Common Curriculum and indeed our courses tend to be hugely popular among Trinity's undergraduates. (As one class of '08 senior just wrote about her experiences in the classics department: "All the cool kids do it.")
