Discover how to interpret culturally and literarily significant texts by ancient Rome's legendary authors. As the precursor to approximately 50 modern languages and a key influence on English vocabulary, Latin served as Europe's dominant language for literature, history, science, medicine, and law for nearly two millennia. Pursuing Latin as a major offers essential intellectual perspectives for understanding both historical and contemporary contexts. You'll develop advanced skills in reading and critically evaluating Latin texts while exploring influential works from pivotal periods, gaining insight into their themes and cultural importance. The curriculum systematically builds linguistic proficiency through units that introduce, practice, and contextualize Latin grammar and syntax. Beginners start at introductory level, while those with prior Latin experience (such as HSC-level study) can commence at intermediate levels. The program culminates with advanced study of renowned Roman authors, preparing graduates for careers in education, law, media, government, academia, and beyond.
