* Classical languages majors must take a modern language course at the 202 level or above. Students not prepared to begin at this level will need to take additional modern language courses, which count as general electives.

 

** Two of the classical language electives must be advanced courses (that is, numbered 300 or above) in the primary language. The other four classical language electives are any courses in the secondary language.

 

Comprehensive Examinations

The comprehensive requirements for classical studies majors include a departmental oral and written examination.
