IWU ANNOUNCES A NEW MAJOR IN GREEK & ROMAN STUDIES

On November 7, 2005, the Illinois Wesleyan University faculty voted to add a new INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJOR and a revised MINOR in Greek and Roman Studies. The Major and Revised Minor requirements are listed online.

This is an historic moment for Illinois Wesleyan University, and is the result of years of curricular planning by Nancy Sultan (who was hired in 1993 as the first classicist on campus), Jason Moralee (Ancient History) and April DeConick (Religion). The major never would have been possible without the help of Jason, April, and many other supportive colleagues and devoted students! 

Stay tuned for announcement of new programming and courses in the future!
