Latin Program

Students who enroll in Latin 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."

* Please read the placement policy of this department before enrolling in your first language class at USD.

Minor Program

While we do not offer a minor in Latin, the Interdisciplinary Humanities major and minor programs offer students with an interest in Latin 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 below for more information.

A separate Classical Studies minor has also been developed. Option 1 will require 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.
