Modern Greek ProgramMajor and Minor Requirments
A major consists of a minimum of 40 hours of Modern Greek courses. Modern Greek students are required to design their programs from courses in language, culture, literature, and linguistics.
Core courses include Modern Greek 101 through 104. These courses do not apply toward the major.
Additional electives and GEC requirements totaling 191 hours are required by the College of the Arts and Sciences for graduation.
Success in modern Greek requires a commitment to daily preparation and a willingness on the part of the student to use the opportunities provided in class to speak the language. In addition, students should begin considering and planning for a study abroad program as soon as they have decided to major in Modern Greek. Students interested in studying abroad during their junior or senior year can get specific information about various programs from their coordinating adviser in the Department of Greek and Latin.
