Uraian Tempat

The mission of the Department of Classics is to promote an understanding of the ancient Greek and Roman world and its legacy through an investigation of the languages and cultures of these civilizations. In addition, the mission of this Department is to fulfill those aspects of the mission of the School of Languages, Cultures, and World Affairs and the mission of the College of Charleston which pertain to the programs, faculty, and students represented by this department. Since the founding of the College in 1770, Classics has been a core component of the undergraduate curriculum. The State Gazette of South Carolina once praised students at the College for their knowledge of “Greek and Latin languages, as well as their extraordinary proficiency in the liberal arts and sciences”. The Department of Classics offers two undergraduate majors - the A.B. degree for students interested in exploring Greek and Latin languages, and the B.A. degree for students who are primarily interested in investigating Greek and Roman culture and civilization. Students can also choose to pursue a minor in Classics, Greek or Latin. Additionally, the professors in classics contribute to a wide variety of minors and majors that have a bearing upon the understanding of the Greco-Roman world.

All residence halls use digital recording systems with scanning cameras to record activity in public areas. Audio recording is used at all security desks and main lobbies. All students in residence halls/houses are provided with Cougar ResNet, a 24-7 high-speed Ethernet Internet service connection. Washing machines and dryers are located in all residence halls and most houses. For student’s convenience, food and soft drink machines are located in most residence halls. Certain cooking appliances are prohibited in the residence halls due to the fire hazard threat they pose. These include coffee makers without an automatic shut off switch, any open-coil heating appliance (such as a toaster), electric griddles, Foreman-type grills and waffle makers. Residents in upperclassman housing with a full kitchen may have a toaster or Foreman-type grill provided the item remains in the kitchen. The Office of Residence Life and Housing recognizes the special needs of physically challenged students. They work in conjunction with the Office of Disability Services to coordinate proper facilities and arrangements for students with special physical needs.
