Latin requirement

Students who successfully attain the Graduate Minor in Medieval Studies must satisfy the Latin requirement. 

• • Students with no prior coursework in Latin can take LAT 101 and LAT 102 (or their equivalent).
  • Students with prior coursework in Latin have two options for satisfying the requirement.
    • They may take a 500-level or 600-level Latin course from the approved list.
      • They must earn a grade of “B” (3.0) or higher to satisfy the requirement.
      • Students who opt to satisfy the requirement by taking this course may count it toward the Graduate Minor’s 12 credit hours.
    • They can earn a High Pass on a Latin reading exam designed and evaluated by the Core Faculty.
      • A student who does not earn the “High Pass” will have a second opportunity to do so. They must get a “High Pass” on the retake before the end of the semester after the initial attempt (i.e. If the initial attempt was made in the Fall semester, the student would have until the end of Spring semester to retake it.)
      • If they do not earn a High Pass on the second attempt, the student must take a 500-level or 600-level Latin course from the approved list, which will count toward the 12 hours of course work.
