The Greek & Roman Studies department offers a comprehensive exploration of ancient Mediterranean cultures, with a focus on the foundational role of Greece and Rome in Western thought and culture. Boasting one of Canada's oldest and most respected Greek & Roman studies departments, McMaster offers BA, MA, and PhD programs, providing students with opportunities for hands-on experience through archaeological excavations and access to renowned collections at the McMaster Museum of Art. Additionally, the department encourages students to engage with Greek and Latin languages, which are essential for postgraduate studies and research opportunities, including current archaeological excavations in Italy.
