Classical Studies Program

I'd like to study Greek, but instead of Latin, I'd like to study biblical Hebrew (or Sanskrit, or Greek history). Can I do this?
The Post-Bac program was designed specifically to help students attain higher levels of training in Greek and Latin; it is not meant to offer training in related fields. We expect that our students will concentrate on their Greek and Latin while here. That said, many Post-Bac students do take advantage of being part of large university with a broad interdisciplinary approach to the fields of classical study, and in addition to their work in Greek and Latin enroll in additional courses in a wide range of topics - including ancient poetry, history, art, archaeology, philosophy, German, Coptic, Sanskrit, and linguistics. Students must receive permission from the Post-Bac advisor to take a heavier course load, and they pay higher tuition, on a per-course basis, for the extra course(s).
