Course Descriptions—Literature and Fine Arts

LAT 201 Intermediate Latin

This course is intended to satisfy the needs of two classes of students: (1) those with previous prepa ration in Latin (usually two years or more in high school) whose performance on the Placement Test shows that they need only a semester’s work to reach the Basic Proficiency level; (2) students who have completed LAT 101, 102 and desire to continue their study of the language. The emphasis will be on developing facility in reading Latin. Since there is a great deal of Latin Prose Composition in Latin 201, it also may be counted as a course in the Language Studies area. LAT 201 will read selections from classical poetry and prose.  If a student who places into LAT 201 completes the course with a grade of B- or better, he will receive an additional course credit in Latin; this course credit does not count towards the major or minor. Offered fall semesters.


Prerequisite: None.
