Description

We offer elementary, intermediate, and advanced courses in the Latin and Greek (ancient and modern) which serve students from every college in the university that requires language study. These same courses serve our majors in Classical Studies as well as a steady stream of graduate students needing language skills for research, especially in the disciplines of History, English, and Philosophy.

Our program also offers courses approved for CORE credit, which are all taught in English. Whether their content is literary, historical, or largely cultural, these courses are aimed at developing or enhancing students' critical abilities. They include the consideration of the classical tradition and the ways it is relevant in our own time.

The program offers a major and minor in Classical Studies, minors in Ancient Greek and Latin, and a Latin teacher certification program.
