Overview
The Greek Language and Culture minor is designed to recognize a serious commitment to the study of ancient or modern Greek. After completing either lower-division ancient Greek (Greek 2, 3, 20) or modern Greek (Greek 9A, 9B, 9C), students select departmental upper-division courses centered on Greek texts, culture, and contexts. Students may take reading courses in ancient Greek prose and poetry that provide close analysis of individual texts, with attention to their historical, literary, and cultural context, and/or they may choose to take courses in Byzantine or modern Greek or courses in translation that ground their language training within the broader scope of Hellenic studies.
