BGS / BA in Classics with concentration in Latin

This concentration provides students with proficiency in the Latin language; allows students to read, analyze, and respond to a variety of important texts from the ancient Roman world in their original language; and offers the opportunity to take complementary courses in the history, archaeology, and culture, as well as the other major languages, of the ancient world. The Latin concentration provides the linguistic training necessary for further study in Latin and related disciplines (e.g., Medieval Studies, Theology, Early Modern Science, Renaissance History, Comparative Literature); prepares students for teaching Latin at the secondary school level; and fosters analytical and writing skills that are essential for careers such as law, government, and business.
