LAT 102 Beginning Latin
For students who have had little or no preparation in Latin. The course is
primarily concerned with the fundamentals of the language. Its aim is to
prepare students to read Latin literature, to improve their command of the
English language by studying the close relations (historic and linguistic)
between English, Latin and the Romance Languages, and to gain exposure to
Roman culture. Four recitations each week. STUDENTS WITH MORE THAN TWO
YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL LATIN WHO WISH TO CONTINUE THE LANGUAGE MUST TAKE A
PLACEMENT EXAM. SUCH STUDENTS CANNOT TAKE LATIN 101 FOR CREDIT, BUT LATIN
102 MAY BE TAKEN FOR CREDIT, IF THEY DO NOT PLACE INTO LATIN 201. This
course is offered in the spring semester.
Successful completion of Latin 101 is a prerequisite for Latin 102.
Credits: 1
