<p>I'm just curious as to exactly what are the titles of some of the "classical" works that one have to read as part of the core? And does SEAS and college students all read the same basic freshmen books?</p>
<p>Just curious.</p>
<p>Odyssey
Iliad
Aneid
History of Peloponnesian War
Crime and Punishment
Pride and Prejudice
Oresteia
Oedipus
Bible
Medea
Symposium
Lysistrata</p>
<p>These are just some samples. Go to Columbia College's online bulletin if you want the entire list.</p>
<p>SEAS students usually do not take Lit Hum in their first year and hence don't read any of those books.</p>
<p>Thx A mil.</p>
<p>"SEAS students usually do not take Lit Hum in their first year and hence don't read any of those books."</p>
<p>Uh...so what do SEAS students read their first year, nothing?</p>
<p>science and math textbooks</p>
<p>OMG, so SEAS kids doesn't have ANY classical readings first year????</p>
<p>=(</p>
<p>Any other readings in all four years??</p>
<p>SEAS kids have to take either Lit Hum or Cont. Civilization before graduation; they can take that whenever they want. That's basically where their dosage of classics comes from.</p>
<p>WOW...I've already read The odyssey, the aneid, pride and prejudice, medea, genesis from the bible, antigone and the background of the oedipus story,</p>
