The Department of Classical Studies seeks to design major programs involving
work in such diverse areas as language and literature, art and archaeology,
religion, and history to meet the needs and interests of individual students.
Students have the option of electing language-based majors in Greek and Latin, or
non-language based majors in Classical Studies. Students pursuing a language-
based major are encouraged to select Classics courses that complement their
language courses.
Greek or Latin courses used to satisfy the foreign language proficiency
requirement may not be counted toward the major.
Students interested in pursuing graduate study in Classics should consult with
their departmental adviser about the undergraduate preparation needed for
graduate school. Courses for each type of major should be selected as follows:
Greek (CLAG) A major in Greek consists of 30 credits in Greek, Latin, and
Classics courses (27 credits if the student has a double major), 15 of which must
be in Greek at or above the 300 level.
Latin (CLAL) A major in Latin consists of 30 credits in Greek, Latin, and
Classics courses (27 credits if the student has a double major), 15 of which must
be in Latin at or above the 300 level.

Classics courses (27 credits if the student has a double major), with at least six
