The Classical Studies Department offers three majors:

• The Classical Studies major, which includes elements of both the Greek and Roman tradition, consists of the following: Classical Studies (CLS) 301,302, 401, 402 and 14 credit hours in language courses beyond the level of CLS 201-202. Students concentrating in one classical language may substitute up to 12 credit hours of coursework in the other, with elementary courses in the second language also counting toward the major.
• The Latin major, which concentrates on the Latin language and the Roman tradition, consists of CLS 302, 310, 402, and 15 credit hours of Latin language courses beyond the 201 level.
• The Greek major, which concentrates on classical and koine Greek and the Greek tradition, consists of CLS 301, CLS 310, CLS 401, and 15 credit hours of Greek language courses beyond the 202 level.

Courses offered by other departments which are centered on the Greco-Roman tradition and which are appropriate for one of the majors may be counted toward that major with approval of the Chairman of Classical Studies.

Students who major in any one of the three majors offered by Classical Studies will have to pass a comprehensive examination in the last semester of the senior year.

Students who have at least a 3.5 grade-point average in their major, who perform at an honors level on their comprehensive examination, and who pass a departmental review of their academic work will graduate with honors in Classical Studies.

Students may double-major with the Latin major and Greek major, but may not double-major with the Classical Studies major and one of the other majors.
