Latin (LATN)
LATN 1111 Introductory Latin 4 Credits
The course presents an intensive study of Latin grammar. Students who complete this course continue in LATN 2211 and LATN 2212.
LATN 2001 Intermediate Latin 3 Credits
This course builds on the grammatical and syntactic knowledge base built in LATN 1111 or in high school through reading unaltered Latin texts and applying concepts and skills to the actual words of the ancients. Specific language skills that we will develop include recognizing syntactic patterns and larger narrative structures in connected passages of prose or poetry; reading Latin at sight with confidence; reading (and rereading) with increased speed while remaining attentive to very close analysis of assigned passages; and understanding how to use lexica, commentaries, and other scholarly instruments in reading an edition of an ancient text.
LATN 2211 Readings in Latin Prose and Poetry I 3 Credits
For students with a high school background or the equivalent in Latin, this course fills out that background through extensive readings in the principal authors and genres not read in high school.
