Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 4 courses
Students may earn a minor in Latin, Greek, or classical studies. Each option allows students either to survey aspects of classical culture and traditions or to take a more focused cluster of courses. Unlike the Greek and Latin minors, the classical studies minor does not require study of an ancient language. Instead, it provides a framework for examining any aspect of Greek and Roman antiquity or its traditions and reception in medieval through contemporary Western culture. Students majoring in classics may also earn a minor in classical studies, provided they do not double-count courses toward both the major and the minor, and they do not count toward the minor any courses in the language(s) of their major at or below the prerequisite level. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog; prerequisite courses for a minor (examples below) are one of these exceptions and may freely double-count. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
