Mission

The Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati advances knowledge of Greece and Rome, as well as other areas of the ancient Mediterranean, by considering them and their reception in all periods and by maintaining faculty in Ancient History, Archaeology, and Philology. It trains students, both undergraduate and graduate, and disseminates research. The Department is committed to supporting a research library and other facilities that promote research and teaching. It sponsors through archaeological projects the investigation, preservation, and presentation of the material cultural heritage of the ancient Mediterranean.
