Greek and Latin BA

About this programme

The major in Greek and Latin provides training in both ancient Greek and Latin, enabling students to encounter texts such as Homer's Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid in their original form. Students can begin their study of the languages in our department or build on knowledge acquired elsewhere. Declaring the Major To declare the major, meet with the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies undergraduate advisor , who can help you create a course plan and complete the declaration. You may also want to review the Letters & Science advising site for a guide to declaring a major . For a detailed list of requirements, please see the Major Requirements tab. Honors Program Students who are declared majors in Greek and Latin and have a GPA (both general and departmental) of at least 3.6 are eligible for honors in Greek and Latin. The honors program consists of a two-semester course sequence, either GREEK H195A and GREEK H195B or LATIN H195A and LATIN H195B , designed to support the writing of a thesis. This thesis, which an honors committee of three members will evaluate, may either build on work in a previous upper-division course that fulfills the Greek and Latin major or a newly conceived project. It is due the Monday of the 13th week of the semester in which the relevant H195B is taken. Further details can be found online at AGRS Undergraduate Honors . Please consult with an AGRS undergraduate advisor to begin planning participation in Honors.
