Classics Major
Department Advanced Placement Policy
Students with AP credit in Latin may be placed in 300-level Latin courses but do not normally receive credit toward the major.
Requirements
A minimum of 10 courses is required for a major in Classics. To satisfy the language requirements of the Classics major, a student will typically take the CLAS course "Opening Classics" and at least one semester of an author-level course in one of the languages (Greek or Latin) and complete the intermediate level in the other. Normally, majors take no fewer than eight courses in the original languages. Adjustments to the language requirements can be approved by the chair of the department.
