Hello,
[00:00:08.393]
my name is Sara Feit and I'm the academic advisor
[00:00:11.140]
for classics and religious studies.
[00:00:13.250]
Come explore civilizations, religions,
[00:00:15.680]
and cultures of the ancient world,
[00:00:17.740]
as well as ancient and modern religions
[00:00:19.730]
with the major in CLRS.
[00:00:22.380]
You'll start by taking four courses
[00:00:24.270]
from eight different options,
[00:00:25.720]
including Spectacle and Entertainment in the Roman World,
[00:00:29.210]
Classical Mythology, the World of Classical Greece and Rome,
[00:00:32.920]
World Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
[00:00:36.620]
In your senior year, you'll also take a research seminar.
[00:00:40.700]
Students with this major have the option of
[00:00:42.730]
focusing their studies in one of three areas,
[00:00:45.510]
Classics, Classical Languages or Religious Studies.
[00:00:49.920]
You'll select courses within your options,
[00:00:52.010]
such as Pagans, Christians and the Roman Empire,
[00:00:55.150]
Classical Antiquity and Popular Culture,
[00:00:57.770]
Latin Poetry, Religion and Politics in America
[00:01:01.310]
and Buddhist Meditation.
[00:01:03.380]
There are lots of ways to bring your major
[00:01:05.370]
out of the classroom and into life.
[00:01:07.820]
Join the Classics Club and participate in
[00:01:09.960]
the annual Homerathon,
[00:01:11.660]
a marathon reading of the Homeric poem.
[00:01:14.400]
Broaden your worldview and learn about
[00:01:16.155]
the archeology, philosophy and life of
[00:01:18.790]
Ancient Greeks through the Study Abroad Experience.
[00:01:21.867]
You could decide to add a minor in digital humanities
[00:01:24.920]
and conduct an internship with UNL Special Collections.
[00:01:28.350]
If your focus is on religious studies,
[00:01:30.570]
connect and engage in leadership opportunities
[00:01:32.920]
with campus faith organizations.
[00:01:35.660]
A wide range of career opportunities are available
[00:01:38.350]
with the CLRS major.
[00:01:40.270]
You'll gain experience analyzing and interpreting texts,
[00:01:43.730]
you'll use your voice to defend and discuss
[00:01:45.980]
complex issues from multiple angles
[00:01:48.740]
and listen actively to better facilitate
[00:01:50.910]
individual and group communication.
[00:01:53.370]
