Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Classics - Upper Year Entry (QAQ)

This Upper Year Entry path is for upper-year applicants. The path is for those who are completing their first year at another university, or have completed or are close to completing a diploma program at a community college, and are interested in transferring to Queen’s University.

Classics refers to the study of the Greek and Roman worlds. Multi-disciplinary in approach, it involves the studies of history, literature, archaeology, religion, mythology, drama and philosophy, in addition to the ancient languages of Greek and Latin. Today people's understanding of Greek and Roman culture is further enhanced by the latest advances in technology that increasingly pervade studies in archaeology, epigraphy, papyrology, and ancient science and medicine.

At Queen's University, students have the opportunity to get hands-on experience in the latest techniques by participating in archaeological excavations and projects overseas supervised by the university's own faculty. They also learn through a variety of on-campus projects and assignments such as working with the Diniacopoulos collection of artifacts. The chance to share in the tradition of over 175 continuous years of instruction in Greek and Latin at the university creates an excellent opportunity for students to deepen their love and knowledge of the ancient world in a small class setting, all supported by knowledgeable and congenial faculty and staff.
