Linguistic mastery is just one of the benefits accompanying the pursuit of a major or minor in Latin. By studying this ancient language and the influential culture surrounding it, you’ll also acquire refined analytical skills, an enhanced global perspective and sharpened powers of interpretation and communication. These benefits will help you thrive in any number of diverse career paths, including education, law, public policy, research, publishing, journalism, archaeology and more.
Through on-campus coursework, you’ll gain proficiency in reading and interpreting Latin texts, from classic literary works by authors like Cicero, Virgil and Ovid, to key writings that reveal how the vibrant cultural legacy of ancient Rome continues to influence Western thought today. Beyond the classroom, you’ll have opportunities for immersive learning through trips, projects and study abroad programs in Italy and at other significant archaeological sites.
