Specialization in Greek & Latin

The Specialization in Greek & Latin is open to students who wish to pursue an increased emphasis on the core languages of classical archaeology, history, and literature. Most graduate programs in these fields require such language training.

In most cases, achieving the Specialization in Greek & Latin in four years is only possible if the student takes courses in both Greek and Latin, starting at least one language in the first year. The availability of the Specialization in Greek and Latin, and of Greek and Latin courses beyond the 2000 level, is subject to program staffing conditions. Interested students should consult the program coordinator of Ancient Greek & Roman Studies as early as possible.

Students who have fulfilled the requirements for a single- or joint-major degree in Ancient Greek & Roman Studies may graduate with a Specialization in Greek & Latin if they have successfully completed 5.0 credits in GREK and LATN.
