Students achieve advanced reading proficiency in Latin, the language of the ancient Romans, foundational to the development, and our understanding, of western culture. In addition to courses in the Latin language, students take a series of elective courses in Latin Literature and Roman History, and complement their study of Latin by taking one year of Ancient Greek.
Unless otherwise noted, 120 credits of coursework is required for a baccalaureate degree with a minimum 2.0 overall GPA, and a minimum 2.0 major GPA.
