Classical Languages Minor
Overview
Students pursuing a minor in Classical Languages study Latin or Greek or both languages. Five courses need to be taken with a grade of “C” or better (including the 101 level, if necessary for the student). At least three courses must be taken in sequence in either Greek or Latin (GK101, GK102, GK201, GK202, OR LA101, LA102, LA201, LA202). The remaining two courses can be 1) two introductory courses (101 and 102) in the other language, or 2) continuing language classes in the same language (GK301 and above or LA301 and above, as Directed Studies), or 3) one 300 level language course and one approved course from another department (listed below), which feature Greek or Latin-writing authors (of any period) in translation, and in which the student accomplishes an additional, specially approved project, to the satisfaction of the Program Director.
For French, German and Spanish, see under MODERN LANGUAGES MINOR. For more classes related to the area of Christian and Classical Letters, see under “Additional Courses:” CL101 “Classical Mythology” and CL102 “Classical Word Origins." These courses do not count toward the classical languages minor at this time. It is the student’s responsibility to see that all degree requirements for graduation are fulfilled. Students wishing to receive Classical Languages Minor credit for any non-language courses listed must complete, to the satisfaction of the Program Director, a special classical language assignment pertaining to the material of the course, requiring at least ten hours of separate study.
