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.
Notes
- For the purposes of University regulations concerning the maximum number of credits in a single discipline (13.0 for Honours, 8.0 for General), all AHCL, GREK, and LATN credits are counted toward the Ancient Greek & Roman Studies degree.
- Senior seminar courses are offered according to faculty availability. Students may take more than one such course in one year or in their overall program.
- Reading courses may be offered according to faculty availability. Interested students should consult with the program before the first week of classes. Students may take more than one such course in their overall program.
- Students may also study Mediterranean archaeology in field school courses offered by other Canadian and non-Canadian universities for credit on a Letter of Permission, with program approval.
- For the Archaeology program, see p. 41. For the Option in Linguistics, see page 385 of the Academic Calendar; for the Option in Pre-modern Studies, see page 390; for the Option in Theatre Studies, see page 392.
- Students considering graduate work in Ancient Greek & Roman Studies are strongly advised to include as many credits in Greek and Latin as possible in their program, to begin the study of German and French as undergraduates, and to consult with the program coordinator.
