Latin Education- Bachelor of Science in Education

This program offers students the opportunity to study the theory and practice of teaching the Latin language while simultaneously studying the language, literature, and culture of the Latin-speaking world. Critically oriented pedagogical courses complement the Latin literature and culture courses that explore the diversity of the Latin-speaking world. Study abroad is not required for Classical Studies, however, credits earned abroad may count toward the major.
