M.A. in Latin

The program in Latin enables the student who is well prepared in Latin to concentrate his or her course-work on that language. This program will prepare students for further graduate work and for teaching in the schools. Students hoping to proceed to doctoral level work should also do some course-work in Greek. This program may be taken under the course option or the thesis option. The Department recommends the course option.
