Bachelor of Arts (General) in Classical Studies

University of Manitoba

Studying for a degree in classics takes you on a journey to the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome and the beginning of the history and culture of Western civilization.

The Department of Classics offers three and four-year Bachelor of Art degrees with options to take advanced majors or minors in classical studies, Greek and Latin.

BA General: 90 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 in all courses in the chosen major. This program is particularly suited to students who wish to seek employment or enter a professional academic program following graduation from Arts.

BA Advanced: 120 credit hours of study with a minimum GPA of 2.00 in all faculty-required courses. Students select a major and minor program of study or a double major in lieu of a minor.

BA Honours: 120 credit hours of study with a minimum GPA of 3.00 in all courses. Students do not complete a major and a minor, but rather an honours subject, or two subjects for the double honours program. This is the preferred program for students looking to pursue graduate studies.
