Given its close association with the College’s Program in Greece, the Classical Studies program at Lake Forest and faculty associated with it encourage students to pursue their passions in an interdisciplinary context and apply their knowledge of the classical world to studies and future careers in fields such as art, philosophy, archaeology, history, sociology, anthropology, communications, cultural studies, library science, museum studies and many other avenues of intellectual, public and business life.
