Careers for Classicists

"If I had to do it all over again, I'd be a schoolteacher—probably teach Roman history or theology." — Bob Dylan

You should know that Classics has been (and continues to be) recognized by employers as one of the strongest liberal arts degrees that a student can earn. Many employers know that Classics majors have studied ancient language and cultures deeply, have been trained to read and interpret challenging sources, and can communicate their thoughts and ideas persuasively both orally and in writing. Don't underestimate the importance and scarcity of these skills! It shouldn't surprise you that they are aggressively sought after by employers in many fields. Learn more.
