I am sure there are more. It’s hard to get at which have ‘stronger’ Classics majors. I think it’s also difficult to assess the strength of the department based on how many profs there are…these majors don’t get many students, so how many profs do they really need? Of course some students will take a minor in classes, and others will take a classics course to fill gen eds, but still…not overwhelming demand.
Personally I would stratify based on the language requirements for the Classics major at each school, look at classes that are required, offered, and how often they run, then look at the profs’ research. I am certain the dept heads would be delighted to chat with your D as well.
Is she certain she wants an LAC, or would a uni be ok? For example, U Mass Amherst has a strong classics dept. Has your D identified at least one affordable highly likely/safety school?
