The Ancient World (C054)
GEC Coordinator: Lisa Maurizio
This concentration introduces students to peoples of the Greco-Roman and Judaic traditions in the ancient world. Students examine the history, literature, religions, social practices, and material cultures of the Greeks, Romans, and Israelites, as well as the different methodologies scholars employ to understand a distant and different past that still critically shapes the experience of the modern Western world.
Complete any four courses designated with the (C054) GEC attribute. One non-Bates credit may be applied toward the concentration if judged comparable to one of those below by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval.
