One common way that undergraduates in the Department of Classics is by participating in one of the large scale research project sponsored by the Department. Most recently, these have been archaeological excavations (digs) in Italy with Professor Jennifer Trimble (the Roman Forum) and Professor Ian Morris (Monte Polizzo). Talk to the Director of Undergraduate Studies or visit the Undergraduate Programs page on this website for information about upcoming research projects.
Another common way that undergraduates conduct research is by doing a Senior Honors Thesis, which involves constructing a research project in consultation with a faculty advisor. Please consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies or see information on the Senior Honors Thesis which can also be found on the Undergraduate Programs page on this website for more information.
