¶¶Òõpro offers a minor in the Latin language and its literature. To complete the minor, students take 18 credit hours at any level of Latin (LATN) courses or courses fulfilling a Latin elective. Latin classes at SLU are small and interdisciplinary, encouraging open and collaborative dialogue among students and instructors. Our courses concentrate on reading culturally formative writings in their original Latin, focusing not only on well-known classical texts but also on patristic and medieval ones.
