Classical studies is a program designed to impart an academic familiarity with the languages, history, and culture of ancient Mediterranean society. Its program of study includes various courses taught by several departments within the College of Liberal Arts, arranged so as to fulfill a student's requirements for an academic minor.

Classical studies differs from other departments' study of the art, history, philosophy, literature, or politics of the classical period by its requirement that the student command a reasonable facility in an ancient language. The point at which a student begins the university-level study of that language will determine the total number of hours required for the minor. If a student begins the language with a course numbered 200 or above, the minor requires the completion of at least 21 credit hours from the following courses. If the student begins with a language course numbered in the 100s, the requirement is 27 hours. For all students, at least 9 of the credit hours must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above, 12 from courses in the same classical language regardless of language placement level, and 9 from courses in subjects other than that language.
