Studying Greek at DePauw

For centuries, the Greek language and culture have served as formative influences on Western civilization. From Homer and Sophocles to Plato and Aristotle, the works of ancient Greek writers continue to shape our understanding of philosophy, literature, politics and art. With a major or minor in Greek, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into some of these pivotal ideas and the texts that first conveyed them. Whether your future interests lie in education, research, politics, law or art, this course of study will prepare you with analytical skills and proficiency in problem-solving and communication.

With semester-long study abroad programs that will expand your horizons, winter term trips that will place you in the footsteps of history and research opportunities that will immerse you in hands-on learning, you’ll be encouraged to extend your education far beyond the classroom. Along the way, you’ll develop the critical skills and intellectual curiosity to navigate the complexities of today’s global society.

I have made countless connections to the outside world because of DePauw.
