Course Information
Although we do not offer a minor in Latin, the Interdisciplinary Humanities major and minor programs offer students with an interest in Latin (or Classical Greek) 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.
A separate Classical Studies minor has also been developed. Option 1 requires the completion of Latin 101, 102 and 201, an additional lower-division course, either Latin 202 or one taken from the list of approved classes, and 9 upper-division units selected from this list.
We offer very advanced students the opportunity to take the Competency Exam in lieu of 201. Please check the Language Placement Guide page before enrolling in your first Latin class at USD or elsewhere.
