Core Curriculum Program

Students who enroll in Ancient Greek to complete the Core Curriculum requirement will most likely need to take the full, three-semester sequence (101, 102, and 201).

We offer very advanced students the opportunity of taking our own Competency Exam in lieu of taking any classes. To learn more, please use the Dept. Home link below and then click on "Competency Exam."

Note: Please read the placement policy of this department before enrolling in your first Ancient Greek class at USD or elsewhere.

Minor Program

While we do not offer a minor in Ancient Greek, the Interdisciplinary Humanities major and minor programs offer students with an interest in this area with the option of selecting a concentration in Classical Studies. Advanced courses are taken through a variety of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences (such as History, Philosophy, and Theology and Religious Studies). Those courses are taught in English. Click on the link to the left for more information.

A separate Classical Studies minor has also been developed. Option 1 requires the completion of three semesters (101, 102, and 201) of Latin or Ancient Greek, with an additional requirement of either a fourth semester (202) of language or another 3-unit, lower-division course offered by a variety of departments.
