The Classics Department awards a Special Studies Certificate for advanced studies in Latin or Greek to full-time, degree-candidate students not majoring in classics.

The requirements of the Advanced Studies Certificate Program are:

1. If Greek is chosen, two courses beyond second year Greek; if Latin, three courses beyond the intermediate level.
2. Two courses in a related field of language, literature, and culture to be determined in consultation with the chairperson and faculty of the Classics Department.
3. A minimum average of “C+” must be earned in the courses for the certificate. No course will be accepted in which a grade below “C” is assigned.
4. A comprehensive examination will be administered by the department.
