Requirements for the Major

The Greek, Latin, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies department offers two tracks for its major: Greek and Latin Language and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. The Greek and Latin Language track is designed for students who want to gain a deeper understanding of ancient languages and/or have an interest in pursuing graduate work in the field, while the Ancient Mediterranean Studies track is designed for students who want a broader focus on the culture, history, and literature of the ancient Mediterranean world. Students are encouraged to discuss their choice of major with the advisor before declaring a track.
