The Minors

The Classics Department offers minors in three areas: Greek Language, Latin Language, and Classical Civilization. Each acquaints the student with an important facet of Greek and/or Roman society. The minors are designed not only to be useful and enjoyable, but also to furnish a sound foundation in each of the three areas. They also offer an easy transition from the minor to the major.

Students interested in a classics minor should consult with the Chief Undergraduate Advisor.

The Greek Minor: at least 18 credits, to include the completion of one course in Greek at the 300 level, and one classics course.

The Latin Minor: at least 18 credits, to include the completion of one course in Latin at the 300 level, and one classics course.

The Classical Civilization Minor: at least 18 credits in classics courses including CLSICS 100, 102, 200, or 202.

Students wishing to transfer credits from other institutions to meet the requirements for a minor at the University, to substitute equivalent courses, to obtain an authorizing signature, or simply to get information about a minor, should consult the Chief Undergraduate Advisor, tel. (413) 545-0512.
