As a Classics concentrator, I must disagree - I believe I’ve gotten more out of classics by learning computer science - what one needs to do to translate passages from Latin/Greek into English and what one needs to do to write a working program are remarkably similar once one gets into it. I believe it’s less what you concentrate in and more what you get out of your 30-40 courses.

But yes, Classics is a great major, with many different options for its completion (I believe there are 5-6 tracks) and I believe anyone would get something out of taking a course in the department, whether it be one of the language courses offered or the courses conducted in translation (English readings).
