An academic minor is available in the field of Classical Studies with four areas of emphasis: Classical Civilization, Latin Language, Greek Language, and Latin Teaching. From the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean area are derived our government, literature, sciences, and laws. The classical world is the backdrop of the modern world. In association with various majors, the Classics Minor is designed to enhance intellectual abilities and practical skills.

Requirements

Twenty-one credits are required.

Note:

The remaining 3 credits must be taken in upper-division Latin. Students may fulfill this requirement either by taking LATN 4100  a second time (provided a different author is studied) or by taking 3 credits of LATN 4930  (Directed Readings in Latin Poetry and Prose Authors).

In order to receive teaching certification in Latin, students must also pass the PRAXIS exam, as well as successfully complete the STEP (Secondary Teacher Education Program) as part of their major.
