Classical Studies Minor Requirements

The classical studies minor requires a minimum of seven courses: two lower-division ancient Greek or Latin language courses (or equivalent), and five upper-division courses.

Elementary Greek or Latin Language (2 courses)

All classical studies minors are required to complete the two-quarter series of elementary ancient Greek (GREE 1 and 2) or Latin (LATN 1 and 2). GREE 1 and LATN 1 are only offered in the fall and GREE 2 and LATN 2 are only offered in the winter.

Students with prior knowledge of ancient Greek or Latin language should consult with the Classical Studies Undergraduate Director to determine if they have satisfied any of the elementary language course requirements.

Introduction to Ancient Greek or Latin Literature (1 course)

In addition to the two lower-division language courses described above, the classical studies minor requires one of the following courses:

• LIT 184A, Introduction to Greek Literature
  _{Reading proficiency in ancient Greek required (GREE 1 and 2)}
• LIT 186A, Introduction to Latin Literature
  _{Reading proficiency in Latin required (LATN 1 and 2)}

LIT 184A and LIT 186A are only offered in the spring.

Upper Division Electives (4 courses)

Four additional upper-division classical studies courses, which may include upper-division Greek or Latin literature. See the UCSC General Catalog for a list of courses that satisfy this requirement.
