Classics is one of the founding departments in the University of Missouri. Its primary mission is the teaching of the languages, literature, history, and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. But its disciplinary range touches virtually all major aspects of early civilization in the Mediterranean's sphere of influence, from the ancient Near East to North Africa, Spain, Gaul, and even Britain. Little happened in these places that does not have some important impact on our world today; understanding those historical conditions and their implications for us today is the goal of Classical Studies.
Summer in Greece and Turkey
The Department of Classical Studies is excited to announce its inaugural study abroad program, which will set off this summer for a tour of Greece and Turkey. The trip will be led by Profs. Michael Barnes and Anatole Mori, and will be offered as six hours of upper-level Classical Humanities credit (CL HUM 4005). The dates are May 31–July 1, which corresponds roughly to the first MU summer session. The itinerary includes Athens, Olympia, Mycenae, Delphi, Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Istanbul, Pergamon, Ephesus, Troy, and more. All the details—the price, the complete itinerary, program eligibility, financial aid, etc.—may be found at the website that the MU International Center has created for the trip. This site also includes the application. Applications for the trip are due FEBRUARY 23. Please feel free to contact Profs. Barnes (BarnesMH@missouri.edu) or Mori (MoriA@missouri.edu) with any questions!
