Bachelor of Arts in Classical Philology - Focus in Greek or Latin
24 advanced credits:
- 18 must be in the chosen major language (Greek or Latin), at the 3000 level or above. Included in these 18 are: Advanced Grammar and Composition (Greek 3324 or Latin 3324) and Senior Project in the major language (Greek 4342 or Latin 4342).
- 6 additional credits are selected from offerings at the 3000 level or above in the major or second language or, by permission of the chairman, may be chosen from advanced offerings in literature, politics, philosophy, history, etc., either in the Classics Department (CLC courses in English translation) or in other departments (related field). Whenever possible, the Classics faculty will assist the student in doing work CLC or in the related field courses in the appropriate classical language.
The second language (Greek or Latin) must be completed through one second-year course (Greek 2315, Latin 2311). Advanced courses are recommended.
Reading knowledge of one modern language, preferably French, German, or Italian is determined through an examination administered by the program advisor in consultation with professors in the appropriate language. The student must pass this examination no later than the end of the junior year. Students may also fulfill this requirement by completing two courses at the second-year level or equivalent.
Junior Paper: Written at the end of the junior year.
Senior Project: Written and presented orally at the end of the senior year. Passing the Comprehensive Examination is a requirement for graduation and must be completed by the end of March of the senior year.
