买球平台与国外的古典与考古学
Archaeology classes regularly use the outstanding collection of ancient art in the 买球平台艺术博物馆. Of special note are the exceptionally fine holdings in 希腊 painted pottery and the very full and continuous survey of 希腊 and Roman coins. In addition, there are numerous opportunities for study or work abroad.
Bowdoin is a participating member of the Intercollegiate Center for 古典研究 in Rome, where students majoring in classics can study in the junior year. It is also possible to receive course credit for field experience on excavations. Interested students should consult members of the department for further information. Students can count up to four courses taken abroad toward the major; up to three in one semester, 或者在国外待一整年. Students can count up to two courses taken abroad toward the minor; one per semester spent abroad. Students must consult with departmental faculty prior in order to determine course eligibility.

新生须知
经典 is the study of the ancient 希腊 and Roman worlds within the broader context of the ancient Mediterranean and the ancient Near East. 我们的学科结合了艺术史的研究, 考古, 历史, 文学, 哲学, 以及希腊语和拉丁语. Our students use these multiple perspectives in order to better understand and better imagine the diversity of peoples who lived thousands of years before us, 去反思这段过去对后世意味着什么, to learn more about how it continues to shape our own ideas in the present day.
Please note that the department offers many other classes under the 考古 and classics rubrics that are designed for first-year student enrollment, 并为一年级学生专门留出空间. 这些课程不需要任何拉丁语或希腊语知识, 也不需要事先学习古典世界. 2024年秋季，包括第一年的写作研讨会， 一堂课1017 英雄时代:古代超人和神奇女侠, 拱1103 埃及考古, 一堂课2103 过去与现在:原住民声音的消失, 一堂课2736 古希腊医学, 一堂课2787 修昔底德和政治理论的发明, 一堂课3310 想象罗马.
对拉丁文入门感兴趣的学生应该报名参加 LATN 1101 初级拉丁语I 哪一种是秋季的. 对希腊文入门感兴趣的学生应该报名参加 GRK 1101 初级希腊语I这门课在春季开课. Because of the sequential nature of language study and the pattern of offerings in the department, students should plan on taking both semesters of 拉丁 over one academic year; students interested in the elementary 希腊 sequence should plan to take GRK 1101 初级希腊语I 在春天和 GRK 1102 初级希腊语II 第二年秋天.
在高中学习过拉丁语或希腊语的学生, as well as students interested in beginning 拉丁 or 希腊 here at Bowdoin, should complete the 拉丁 or 希腊 placement questionnaire in Blackboard in the summer prior to matriculation. In order to make placement recommendations we take into consideration past study, AP和SAT II成绩, 和学生就他们的兴趣进行简短的交谈. Most first-year students who are continuing 拉丁 enroll in either LATN 2203 中级阅读拉丁语 or LATN 2206 罗马小说. Students with exceptionally strong backgrounds, however, may enroll in LATN 3306 罗马小说. 大多数继续学习希腊语的一年级学生都报名参加 GRK 1102 初级希腊语II.
Members of the 经典 Department faculty are always happy to talk with students individually in order to discuss placement and sequencing of courses.
