Welcome to the homepage of Classical Studies at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. Marshall University is the only four year institution in the state of West Virginia that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Latin. We offer a BA and a Graduate Certificate in Latin. Additionally, we offer a BA in Classics through the Humanities Program. This degree provides a unique opportunity for students to design their own interdisciplinary major. We have minors in Latin, Ancient Greek and Classics. Our courses in translation fulfill the humanities or literature requirements for many colleges at Marshall University, and many of these are writing intensive. Classical Studies is located in Harris Hall, Fourth Floor. Please explore our site and get in touch with us if you have questions.
