The MA in Latin Studies provides comprehensive training in Latin language and literature, complemented by courses exploring Latin's broader historical significance. As the dominant tongue of the classical world's most influential empire, Latin served as Europe's primary scholarly and literary language for over a millennium. This program delivers rigorous advanced instruction in Latin, enabling students to engage directly with diverse classical texts. The curriculum spans works from the late republic through medieval times, examining them through multiple lenses - historical, religious, and intellectual. Students also explore the cultural legacy of the Roman world and Latin-speaking societies throughout history.
