Classics

The minor in Classics provides students with a knowledge of the Latin language and its literature as well as broad knowledge of the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. Students must complete five courses in the Latin language and select two courses from a mixture of courses with classical content from offerings in classics, classical languages, and related courses from other departments.

The student must select at least five courses from group I, and two courses from groups II through IV. Nine credits in the minor must be from courses numbered 252 or above, for a total of 21 credits. Substitutions may be permitted for other courses with classical content with permission of the CLS Program Coordinator.
