a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
Proposal for redesign of the “Classics Minor”
In 2002, the “Classics”
faculty succeeded in reshaping the old Classics major/s. The result of this
effort is the Ancient Greek and Roman Studies concentration within the Foreign
Languages and Literatures Major. The new curriculum is more succinct,
interdisciplinary, and flexible than the Classics major. Students have three
options within the new concentration: Culture and Civilization, Ancient Greek
and Latin Language and Literature, and Latin Language and Literature. All three
options are built on a linguistic core; that is, students in all options must
complete the equivalent of the University’s language requirement in either
Greek or Latin (2 years). Also common to all concentrations is the requirement
to enroll in 3 FLLT courses focusing on
The climate is right for a
revision of the Classics Minor at this stage. This minor is simply too
linguistically rigorous, more so than the new major, to make for a feasible
minor. Currently students must take 12 credits of Greek or Latin at the 200
level or above. In addition to this, students must take 6 credits of FLLT
courses, with at least one at or above the 300 level. The minor should more
closely match the spirit and form of the AGRS major. It should be more flexible
and more interdisciplinary, for an education in the “Classics” necessarily
entails the study of culture and civilization. We can only approach an understanding of
classical literature if we have a firm command of that literature’s
socio-political milieu.
The existing Classics
minor is
structured as follows:
18 Credits including 12 credits
in Latin and/or Greek at or above the 200 level and 6 credits in FLLT courses,
with one course at or above the 300 level..
b.
Summary of program:
The following is a proposed
revision of the minor.
Ancient Greek and Roman
Studies Minor
2 courses in Greek or
Latin at the 200 level or above 6 credits
2 FLLT
courses focusing on the literature and/or culture of ancient
2 elective courses from related disciplines (at the 200 level
or above) reflecting
the students’ particular interests in the classical world (Anth, Arth, Fllt,
Grek, Hist, Latn, Phil, Posc, Thea), at least one of which must be at or above the 300
level. 6
credits
