Preparing for the Major

Students who choose the Greek and Latin field of study should begin the curriculum as soon as possible because it is challenging to complete the language requirements without an early start. Those with no previous knowledge of Latin or Greek should begin study in the freshman year, in a summer program following freshman year, or at the beginning of the sophomore year.

Students should explore the Gateway courses opens in a new tab for our major, as they help in setting the foundation for our Classics studies.
