A joint major in classics and religion is especially recommended for students with a particular interest in myth studies. While this major does not require work in Greek or Latin, second- and third-year classical language courses are counted toward this major. Students are encouraged to consider the study of a classical language and reminded that both Greek and Latin fulfill the CAS language requirement. Refer to the previous section on the CAS language requirement for classics majors. Students interested in a major in classics and religion must consult an advisor in both the Department of Classical Studies and the Department of Religion.
