REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR IN GREEK, LATIN, AND GREEK & LATIN

The major in Greek or Latin requires a minimum of eight courses above the elementary level.

In Greek, this would be fulfilled by taking

Greek W 4139

Elements of Greek Prose Style

Greek W 4105-W 4106

History of Greek Literature

and five others, including

Greek V 3996 Major Seminar

In Latin, this would be fulfilled by taking

Latin W 4139 

Elements of Latin Prose Style

Latin W 4105-W 4106

History of Latin Literature

and five others, including

Latin V 3996 Major Seminar.

Greek or Latin V 3998 may be substituted for a semester of the survey or for elements of prose style, but students planning to go on to graduate study in classics are strongly urged to take both W 4105 and W 4106.

In addition, two semesters of ancient history appropriate to the major are required. For one of these, however, a relevant course in ancient art, classical civilization or literature, ancient philosophy, or religion may be substituted.

Majors in Latin, especially those who have begun their study in high school, are strongly advised to take at least two semesters of Greek.

A student may elect to major in both Greek and Latin by completing the major requirements in one language and five courses above the elementary level in the other.

Note: Visit Ancient Studies for the requirements for this major.
