The Department of Ancient and Medieval Languages and Cultures offers four undergraduate minors: Ancient Greek Language and Culture, Latin Language and Roman Culture, Classical Studies, and Medieval Studies. You may easily begin a language-related minor by completing the Catholic University language requirement in Latin or Greek, since the LAT 103-104 and GR 103-104 courses count towards the minors.

    There are 6 courses total required for this minor:

    • GR 103 +  GR 104
    • Two other courses in Greek beyond the 104 level

    One or both CLAS courses may be replaced by additional advanced-level courses in Greek, if desired.
