B.A. Classics
|
Besides its own majors and minors, the Department of Classical Studies also supports a special degree program that preserves the form of a well-rounded humanistic education in the Jesuit tradition. The Bachelor of Arts Classics is modeled after the course of study that was required of all Loyola undergraduates during the first century of the institution. The B.A. Classics is not a major, but a degree. Students major in any department or program they choose; please see departmental advisers for those requirements. The unique distinction of the B.A. Classics is that the degree also comprises four courses above the 100-series in Greek or Latin (Latin 271 or Latin 272 may count, but not both of them); B.A. Classics graduates must also demonstrate elementary-level competence in a second foreign language (potentially though not necessarily the other classical language), amounting to two semesters' credit for college-level work or the equivalent expertise. A student completes a total of 128 course hours (minimum) to graduate with the B.A. Classics. The notation "Classics" on a student's transcripts indicates a well-rounded education, giving the student an advantage on the job market or with law, medical or graduate school admission boards.
