The CLAS program features 4 blocks of upper-level 3-credit courses, with each block including 1 text-focused seminar and 1 archaeology-focused seminar. Every fall and spring semester, we schedule one course block, in a sequence that repeats every two years. To keep track, we’ve named our blocks after the four Roman chariot racing teamsRedWhiteBlue, and Green.
