Note: LAT 251 and LAT 252 are advanced literature courses where students read, translate and analyze authentic ancient Latin literature. It is not equivalent to a 211-212 level course in the modern languages. In Latin, we complete all of the grammar of the language in LAT 111-112 and move at an accelerated pace.
