About this degree

Single degree
In a Bachelor of Classical Studies degree program you will study a total of 144 units. Typically you will take 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 24 (6-unit) courses across your whole degree.
You'll need to take one major (8 courses) from either Ancient History, Ancient Greek or Latin, one minor from either Ancient History or Ancient Greek or Latin (24 units) which cannot be the same subject area as the major (4 courses), and four courses from across the listed designated areas and courses (4 courses). You'll also get to choose eight electives from courses right across ANU. You can use these electives to try a range of courses or to take a major or minor in a non-Arts subject.

Double degree
In a Bachelor of Classical Studies degree program you will study a total of 96 units. Typically you will take 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 16 courses across your whole degree. However, for each semester you are likely to take 2 courses from your Bachelor of Classical Studies degree and then 2 courses from the other half of your double degree – still a total of 4 courses a semester.
You'll need to take one major (8 courses) from either Ancient History, Ancient Greek or Latin, one minor from either Ancient History or Ancient Greek or Latin (24 units) which cannot be the same subject area as the major (4 courses), and four courses from across the listed designated areas and courses (4 courses).

Enrolment Status

While it's possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be full-time.
•    A course (usually 6 units) can only be counted towards one major or minor.
•    You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
•    You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year.
•    You need to enrol in courses for your chosen major
•    You need to enrol in courses for your chosen minor
You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your Bachelor of Classical Studies half of the double degree.

Electives

Single Degree
While you only need to enrol in courses for one major, one minor and four area courses (from the designated list), you can use your electives to enrol in 1000-level courses for other Arts majors or minors. That way you keep your options open. Once you've selected courses for the major, the minor and a course from one of the designated areas listed, you should choose electives to make up the balance of your courses.
