Greek

As studied in the context of the Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies programs at Lewis & Clark, Ancient Greek is the ancient language of the great texts of antiquity from Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Thucydides to the New Testament to the works of Byzantine Greek authors. Its temporal range is from the eighth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Thus learning Ancient Greek provides students access in the primary language to many of the most treasured texts in human history.

    The math department was a really special space for me during my time at L&C. When I think of community, that’s what immediately comes to mind.

    The environmental studies major is wonderful in the way that I’ve been able to get a theoretical basis in so many different fields. I love the interdisciplinary nature of the ENVS major, and really feel like I’m better equipped to understand other fields and relate them to the work I’ve done.

    When I first enrolled in General Chemistry I, I had no idea that it would lead me to a degree and eventually a career in chemistry. The small size of the chemistry department also allowed me to make lifelong connections with the faculty and my fellow classmates.
