the classics

In the Classical Studies Program at Phoenix College you can get a small college, liberal arts education for a fraction of the price of a private school. You can be prepared to compete for a space at Yale or Stanford or Claremont- McKenna. You can make close connections with your classmates and instructors. You can enjoy these benefits:

1) SMALL CLASSES limited in size to less than 26.

2) Make FRIENDS in our learning community.

3) SOCIALIZE with classmates and your professors:

5) GREAT BOOKS: Read original, great books, like Shakespeare’s plays, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Dantes’ Inferno, and others. Learn to write, read, and discuss at an advanced level. You will see how American and modern culture has its roots in our Greco-Roman past.

6) INTER-DISCIPLINARY: Find art and music in your history class and make connections between the literature and the historical events of time periods you’re studying.

7) TRANSFER: Our best students transfer to the best colleges and universities in the country. We don’t expect our students to become classicists. This is a very general education which gives the basic grounding to succeed in any number of majors, from History, to English, to Business. Most of the required classes are necessary for any major.

Start Here, Go Anywhere. “My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.” --Robert Maynard Hutchins Classics isn’t about looking backward; it’s about finding yourself and your future, by learning about how the past is alive in the present.		experience the classics In the Classical Studies Program at Phoenix College you can get a small college, liberal arts education for a fraction of the price of a private school.
