Intensive Introductory Latin: From Grammar Basics to Translation

6 units

An intensive introduction to Latin, especially suitable for graduate students in the humanities, social, and natural sciences, but open to undergraduates who seek permission from the Department of Classics. Thorough introduction to grammar, vocabulary, and syntax will be supplemented by translation practice. The last part of the course will focus on translation of substantial selections from Latin authors including Vergil and Ovid. Students who complete the summer course should subsequently be able to enroll in a 300-level Latin course.
