Course descriptionClassics Major
30 credits, or 10 courses, are required to complete a major in Classics.
15 credits – 5 courses in either Greek or Latin—3rd semester level and above
6 credits – 2 courses in your non-primary language (Greek or Latin)
3 credits – 1 course History of Ancient Greece or Rome
6 credits – 2 Classics courses in English
Students will typically choose one of the two classical languages, ancient Greek or Latin, in which to fulfill the language requirement at the advanced level. They will be required to take at least two semesters in the other language at the appropriate level.
If a student has sufficient background in both languages, it should be possible for her or him to complete the requirements of the major through a combination of intermediate and advanced courses in both languages, as long as the total number of language courses equals 7 (21 credit hours).
