Latin

Democracy, philosophy, law, architecture and literature are just of few of the subjects heavily influenced by ancient Greece and Rome. Latin itself is still relevant in various occupations such as law, medicine and the sciences. The study of these phenomena in the classical world imparts a deeper understanding of their counterparts in the modern world.

The language courses guide students through the fundamentals of Latin grammar in just two semesters, and they gain the knowledge needed to complete in-depth readings of individual works.

The Classic courses focus on cultural aspects of the Greek and Roman world such as:

• Classical literature in translation (CLA 209)
• Mythology (CLA 210)
• Women in ancient Greece and Rome (CLA 330)

Students can choose to minor in Classical Studies. For more information on the Classical studies minor please contact Dr. David Hoot.
