The Classics department offers Minors in three areas, all designed to acquaint the student with the most interesting facets of Greek and Roman Culture. All Classics Minors require 18 credit hours. Latin Language and Literature The Latin Language and Literature minor requires five semesters of Latin and Classics 102 (Roman Civilization) or any other course on Roman history or culture. Greek Language and Literature The Greek Language and Literature minor requires two semesters of intensive Greek language, one upper-level Greek course, and Classics 100 (Greek Civilization) or Classics 200 (The Golden Age of Greece) or any other course on Greek history and culture. Classical Civilization In addition to one basic civilization course (Classics 100, 102, or 200), the student takes five other Classics courses at any level. It is also possible to include Greek and Latin language courses in this minor.
