Classical Greek Courses

Although we do not offer a minor in classical Greek, the Interdisciplinary Humanities major and minor programs offer students with an interest in Classical Greek (or Latin) the option of selecting a concentration in Classical Studies. Advanced courses are taken through a variety of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, which are taught in English.

The Classical Studies minor (Option 1) requires classical Greek (or Latin) 101-201 and makes 202 one of the choices from a list of lower-division courses. With the prior permission of the director, Greek 294, 394, 494 and 499 may be counted toward the requirements.

Those students who have studied Greek previously should take the Placement Exam to be placed in the right class. Students with a strong background in Greek are offered the opportunity to take the Competency Exam in lieu of 201. Please check the Language Placement Guide page before enrolling in your first classical Greek class at USD or elsewhere.
