Any Latin or Greek language course (other than CLAS 203 or CLAS 213) also counts as an elective for the Classical Studies minor. So if students begin the study of Latin or Greek at the College, they will take three language courses which will fulfill three of the seven courses required for the minor.
Individualized Major in Classical Studies
Students who are especially interested in the classical world may pursue an Individualized Major in Classical Studies. Please contact the Director of Classical Studies for further details.
Retroactive Credit Policy
Students will be awarded up to two courses for previous language study if they enter a language course beyond the introductory level and earn a “B” or better in that course. This means that students who begin their study of Latin or Greek at St. Norbert College with CLAS 102 or CLAS 112 and earn at least a “B” in that course, will also receive one retroactive course for previous Latin or Greek study. Students who begin their study of Latin or Greek with CLAS 203 or CLAS 213 and earn at least a “B” in that course, will receive two retroactive courses for previous Latin or Greek study. Retroactive courses do not count as part of the seven courses required for the minor in Classical Studies. Students with previous language study should contact the instructor to determine their proper starting placement in the course sequence.
