"Depth and Breadth" of undergrad curriculum

As a transfer student I will be spending a total of 3 years at my undergraduate institution and am majoring in Classical Languages and Literature. Since most people don’t declare their major until the second year anyway I don’t feel like I’ve lost much time. However because of my attempts to gain some knowledge in Greek and Roman areas of archaeology plus working with Greek and Latin literature it doesn’t look like I will have shown much depth in any area. I will only have the equivalent of 10 courses in Latin (4 in language and 6 in literature), 6 courses in Greek language and literature (4 in language and 2 in literature), 4 courses in classical archaeology, and then the two courses for my honors thesis.

Is it common for undergraduates to have so few courses in the major when applying to graduate programs.
