Career Development

The study of classics enriches many other subjects and is considered an excellent foundation for postgraduate studies, including medicine and law. We are especially interested in preparing Latin majors to teach Latin in high school. In addition to these fields and postgraduate study in classics, recent graduates have continued their education in archaeology, history, law, library science, genetics, and medicine. Recent graduates who have entered the workforce directly are employed in teaching, information technology, business management, computer programming, musical performance, art valuation, and government service.
