BA in Classics - Latin in Charlotte United States | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Department provides a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with five distinct specialization options. Each major concentration mandates studying classical Greek and/or Latin up to at least the fourth semester, along with CLAS 391, the Junior Seminar. This culminating course unites all majors to explore a unifying topic that highlights the field's interdisciplinary nature, incorporating both Greek and Roman sources across textual and material culture. The concentrations vary significantly in their emphases and requirements. The Greek, Latin, and Combined Greek and Latin tracks emphasize classical languages and literature in their original forms. In contrast, the Classical Archaeology concentration centers on the art, architecture, and archaeological findings of the ancient Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the Classical Civilization option offers students a comprehensive understanding of diverse aspects of ancient Greek and Roman societies. The Latin concentration aims to cultivate proficiency in the language and literary works of ancient Rome, requiring six advanced Latin courses beyond the fourth semester and an introductory Roman history survey. Students with prior Latin experience may find this concentration ideal for a double major, especially those considering secondary-level Latin education.
