Ancient Studies Minor
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Minor in Ancient Studies (under which rubric falls the study of ancient civilizations in general but particularly, based on current course availability at UWEC, Classical, Biblical, and ancient Near Eastern Studies), touches upon almost every field of human inquiry: language, literature, history, politics, religion, medicine, and science, to note only a few of the broader disciplines.
The Minor in Ancient Studies will be of particular interest to those students majoring in Foreign Languages, History, Political Science, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Music and Theatre Arts. In addition to these majors, students who intend to pursue graduate studies in medical fields, law, art, Classics, Biblical Studies, ancient Near Eastern studies, or medieval studies will find a Minor in Ancient Studies to their advantage. In general, the Minor in Ancient Studies will appeal to those interested not only in the evolution of ancient civilizations but also in an intellectually challenging field. Students opting for this minor will be exposed to the fields of language, literature, linguistics, history, politics, religion, philosophy, art, and archaeology.
