पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program offer elementary, intermediate, and advanced courses in the Latin and Greek (ancient and modern) which serve students from every college in the university that requires language study. These courses serve as a steady stream of graduate students needing language skills for research, especially in the disciplines of history, English, and philosophy. It also offers courses approved for core credit, which are all taught in English. Whether their content is literary, historical, or largely cultural, these courses are aimed at developing or enhancing students' critical abilities. They include the consideration of the classical tradition and the ways it is relevant in the own time. The program in classical studies is interdisciplinary. Greek and Latin languages as well as literature courses with readings in the original languages are taught under the aegis of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages. Acquiring a solid background in the liberal arts by reflecting on the western tradition is naturally of great intrinsic value, yet it may also open doors to a broad range of academic and professional opportunities. Graduates of this program have gone on to graduate study at such institutions as the University of Missouri, the University of Chicago, Harvard University, the University of Cincinnati, and Stanford University. While some graduates have chosen to enter the field of classics, others have gone on to careers in education, medicine, publishing, and the law. The chronic shortage of high school Latin teachers in Texas and in the rest of the U.S. creates many job opportunities for students who wish to choose teaching as a career. They may study Latin as a second field for a T.E. certificate.
