Both options include a strong focus on Roman culture. Basic coursework covers fundamental, intermediate and advanced Latin, Latin literature, and Greek and Roman mythology or ancient literature in English translation. To round out your program, you will choose electives with the help of your advisor. Electives may include Basic Greek I and II, and Romans on Film. The education curriculum is similar to the arts and sciences curriculum, but provides you with an additional course in Latin literature and training that will prepare you to teach the language at the middle and high school levels.

If you are interested in earning Latin credits through participation in a study abroad program, you must meet with an advisor well in advance of such study to plan properly and obtain approval for credits to be taken as part of the required or elective hours for the major.
