Minor in Classical Languages
NOT YOUR AVERAGE LANGUAGE PROGRAM
Our Classical Languages program offers you a different learning experience than what people typically think of when you say “the Classics.” Our language classrooms are places of creative learning, spoken-language games, and storytelling in addition to reading, writing and translation exercises. You’ll love this language minor if you want to improve your communication skills, are fascinated by the meanings and histories of words, or want to read texts in their original languages. The experience will not only enrich your major but also give you a qualitative edge in preparing for graduate school or the job market. The Classical Languages program provides courses in Latin and Greek with the opportunity to minor in either or both.

Elementary Latin I (LA 101)
This course is an immersion classroom in which you use your natural facilities of speech, hearing, and observation to make the Latin language your own. Students learn the basics of Latin through games, storytelling, and a textbook which presents the language through the adventures of a Roman family of the time of Christ. Some elementary-level class exercises are run by advanced students under the instructor’s guidance.
