Intermediate courses
The following 200-level courses are open to students who have successfully completed Latin 101; students who have previously studied Latin must take the department's placement test. These courses do not form sequences. Each course combines grammatical study and review with practice in close reading and textual analysis. Students will learn how to study and do research in specific disciplines in both primary and secondary materials. Readings in the original are supplemented by readings in English; critical writing in English is stressed. These courses will frequently be offered as connections courses.
