Classics
& the Foreign Language Requirement
Latin 1 or Greek 1 followed by Latin 2/3 or Greek 2/7 will fulfill the first part of the language requirement. Students who may have studied Latin or Greek in secondary school are encouraged to take the placement exams; they may be placed into the 7 or 21 level if they have had three or more satisfactory years. Those who have completed the first part of the requirement in any language, Classical or modern, have the choice of continuing that language, or starting a second language or taking three courses in a single Culture Area.
Classics
& the Culture Area
The Classical Culture Area makes a particularly attractive Culture Area because within the department we offer a wide variety of subject matter and techniques of investigation. In a time span of 1,500 years and in a single geographical area, one can study languages, literature, philosophy, religion, science and medicine, drama, history, archaeology, and mythology. In addition, Classics courses can also fulfill part of other Culture Areas including the Italian Culture Area. Within the department one can also take courses which count both for Culture Area and also for Humanities, Arts, or Social Science Distribution Requirements.
Classics
