Minor Checklist
The Minor is designed to provide a basic, but contextual and broad, familiarity with Modern Greek language, literature, and culture. More specifically, it requires students to study at the intermediate and advanced levels, Greek and its authors but at the same time it acquaints them with the broader historical, social, and cultural contexts in which they lived and worked.
Students with a Minor in Modern Greek gain foundational, comparative and contextual knowledge of Modern Greek language, literature, history, and culture. Through a selected series of courses, they are introduced to the many dimensions of Modern Greek culture, through authentic texts, language learning, exploring Modern Greek history and the history of the Greek diaspora, and critically engaging with the issues facing Greece in the globalized, contemporary world.
Prerequisites:
GREEKMOD 201 (or MODGREEK 201) or equivalent as determined by placement exam.

1. Modern Greek Language and Literature: At least two (2) courses in Modern Greek language and literature above GREEKMOD 201 or MODGREEK 201. These include 202 and 301.
2. Modern Greek Culture: A broad introductory course in Modern Greek culture (GREEKMOD 214.)
