All students who are thinking of studying Classical Languages in graduate school, however, should certainly take both Latin and Greek as undergraduates. The Classical Languages Major requires 27 semester credit hours of course work beyond the basic two-semester sequences of introductory Latin and Greek. Completion of LAT 100 and LAT 101 will also meet this requirement for those concentrating in Greek. The student shall take a history course and an art and culture course in the area of their major. Students with an equal concentration of Latin and Greek may take CLSX 528 as their art and archeaology course.
Honors requires the student to write an honors essay.
This requires acceptance into the Classics honors program by the chairperson or major advisor, and enrollment in either GRK 496 or LAT 496. Students interested in this option should discuss their plans with an adviser as early as their junior year. Classical Antiquity Students with a general interest in Graeco-Roman culture and society may pursue a degree in Classical Antiquity. The three essential features of the program are language proficiency, the core curriculum, and 12 to 15 hours in electives. The Classical Antiquities major provides students with a broad liberal arts education and prepares students to do graduate work in classical archaeology, ancient history, or classical civilization.
