Classics offers courses in the languages and cultures of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. The department offers majors in Classics, Greek, Latin and participates in the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies concentration. Refer to the Interdisciplinary Studies  section of this catalog for specific requirements for the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Minor .

Incoming freshmen and transfer students who have previously studied Latin should take a placement test in the language. Those who intend to continue study in Latin must take the placement test. The placement test determines the lowest level at which students may receive credit and where they must begin their study of the language at Furman. Students may opt to begin a new language.

There is no placement test for ancient Greek. Students who have studied Greek must consult with the department chair to determine placement. Students may not enroll an ancient language course through the pass-no pass grading option until they have satisfied the general education requirement in foreign language.

One first year seminar or first year writing seminar taught by a member of the Classics Department may also, with approval, contribute to the major.
