Because there is no uniform program of study for a degree in classical studies, majors should consult a classical studies advisor before enrolling in classes each semester. In general, however, students should begin the formal study of the ancient language (i.e., Greek or Latin) they choose for their major while they are still freshmen or as soon as possible after becoming a major. Many students will want to learn both Latin and Greek, but normally they should not begin both languages simultaneously at the elementary level. Taking the intermediate courses of one and the elementary courses of the other, however, usually presents no difficulty.
