Minor in Greek Studies
The minor in Greek Studies is designed to be interdisciplinary, with concentration on Mediterranean issues, focusing on and starting from the island of Crete. The minor consists of a minimum of 24.0 credits, 17.0 of which are elective courses chosen with a focus on Greek Studies. Because the scope of the minor embraces Hellenism from antiquity to today, students may select their electives depending on the aspect of Greek studies they desire to focus on (for example, mythology, philosophy, performance).
