From the 2012-2013 Millsaps Catalog
(Information below reflects new requirements as of Feb. 2012)
Requirements for major: Students may complete a major in Classical Studies with 10 courses (40 semester hours). The requirements include eight semesters of Latin and Greek, with at least three in one language and five in the other, including 4900 or 4910 as a Senior Seminar in Greek or Latin, at the student's choice. Either one Greek culture course or one Roman culture course is also required. The Greek culture requirement may be filled with either CLST 2300 (Greek Legacy: Culture and Civilization) or CLST 2400 (Study Abroad Course in Greece). The Roman culture requirement may be filled with either CLST 2310 (Roman Legacy: Culture and Civilization) or CLST 2410 (Study Abroad Course in Italy). The remaining course may be in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, or Classical Civilization including our Study Abroad courses. One Core topics course taught by a member of the department, or approved by the chair, counts toward the major. One AP Latin or Greek course in which the student has earned a 4 or 5 can be counted toward the major requirements as a 2000-level course. We encourage majors and minors to travel abroad as part of their curriculum, either by traveling to Greece and/or Italy at the end of the spring term with one of our Study Abroad courses, or by studying for a summer or semester in Italy or Greece. Those who intend to go to graduate school in Classics should take as many Greek and Latin courses as possible. Classics majors who intend to go to graduate school in Classical Archaeology should obtain a concentration in Material Culture.
