OFFICE OF HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL LIFE PACE UNIVERSITY, NYC Dyson House’s 2015-2016 Students with a unified interest to pursue their passion Classic Honors Civilization: The core problems of the lives of the ancient Greek and Romans are an essential part of the human experience. From that perspective, we can study today’s human experience more effectively by beginning with the classical world of the Greeks and Romans because we do not have to worry about the distorting effects of modern science and technology. The fundamental issues of the human condition, war and peace, political structures, and relations between human beings of different races, ethnicities, religions and genders, can all be studied through a combination of literature, philosophy, theater, and art. Classical Civilization brings together elements that should be infused into the college experience of every student. None of the components are being used for the first time: what is new is the way they are being integrated into the educational experience of the fortunate participants.
