What Can I Do With a Major In Greek?

UGA Specific Information for Greek

The Greek major at UGA provides students with an opportunity to pursue studies in Greek literature, history, archaeology, art, philosophy, and religion while concentrating on the Greek language. Studying Greek will not only give students practical language skills, but also scholarly tools and a comprehensive understanding of the literature, culture, and linguistical distinctives of the Greek language. Studying Greek will also improve a student’s ability to communicate cross culturally, increase his or her understanding and sensitivity to different cultures, and broaden his or her knowledge about the world. Career opportunities for graduates include teaching at the secondary level, non-teaching academic positions, museum work, library work, editorial work, positions in the travel and tourist industry, and government positions in Foreign Service.
