The LSA language requirement for the B.A./B.S. degree may be satisfied with the successful completion of any of the following: MODGREEK 202; both GREEK 301 & 302 (or equivalent); GREEK 307 & 308; GREEK 300 and any upper-level course; LATIN 232 or 295, or any course at the 300- or 400-level which has as a prerequisite one of these courses, or by satisfactory performance on a placement test. Students are placed into the Department's language sequences according to their demonstrated proficiency.
The Latin Placement Test:
The Latin placement test is offered throughout each term and the Summer Orientation period. The placement test also requires an interview component to finalize placement results. Those students who have received an initial placement of LATIN 301 must also take a proctored validation test to finalize their results; this test is available by arrangement only.
