Latin

The Department Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers a variety of courses that bring students more fully into contact with the roots of their culture through the Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies, as well as minors in Greek, Latin, classical languages and classical cultures. Students gain an awareness and appreciation of the continuity of Western thought by studying the historical, literary, linguistic and religious elements of Greece and Rome. The department approaches this study through its two concentrations: language, literature and culture.
