The Department of Greek and Latin offers three undergraduate minors: Ancient Greek Language and Culture, Latin Language and Roman Culture, and Classical Studies. You may easily begin a language-related minor by completing the Catholic University language requirement in Latin or Greek, since the LAT 103-104 and GR 103-104 courses count towards the minors.

  • Minor in Ancient Greek Language and Culture

    There are 6 courses total required for this minor:

    • GR 103 +  GR 104
    • Two other courses in Greek beyond the 104 level
    • Two CLAS courses on ancient Greece

    One or both CLAS courses may be replaced by additional advanced-level courses in Greek, if desired. 

  • Minor in Latin Language and Roman Culture

    There are 6 courses total required for this minor:

    • LAT 103 + LAT 104
    • Two other courses in Latin beyond the 104 level
    • Two CLAS courses on ancient Rome

    One or both CLAS courses may be replaced by additional advanced-level courses in Latin, if desired. 

  • Minor in Classical Studies

    Any six approved courses chosen in conjunction with the undergraduate advisor from among the offerings of the department except for LAT 101-102 and GR 101-102 or their equivalents. At the discretion of the undergraduate advisor up to two of the approved courses may come from other departments, programs, or schools (including but not limited to ANTH, ENG, HIST, HSHU, PHIL, SEM, and TRS).

  • Minoring Outside of the Department

    Majors are encouraged to use their distribution courses to form coherent minors in related subject areas. These minors add additional strength and documented expertise to your B.A. degree, and can be used to profile your other interests for potential employers or graduate programs.
