Classics
Art, culture, history, literature, religion – the ancient Greek and Roman cultures still influence many aspects of modern life, and studying Classics helps to discover and explore those connections. As students learn about some of history’s greatest poets, philosophers, and historians, they develop skills in critical thought, oral and written expression, and argumentation and have the opportunity to read some of their works in the original Greek and Latin languages.
Their ideas, texts, and principles may be thousands of years old, but the Greeks and Romans provided us with a foundation for many current fields of endeavour, including business, history, philosophy, social sciences, law, medicine, and the Romance languages.
The Classics Minor requires 18 senior-level credits with a minimum of six credits at the 300- or 400-level in CLAS, LATN, or GREK (CLAS 355 does not satisfy this requirement).

Spanish
Learning Spanish can help you stand out at home as well as abroad. Students who study another language simultaneously expand their English vocabulary, grammar and style. They become better communicators which translates to higher salaries. According to a recent study by Canadian economists, bilingual employees earn more than their unilingual counterparts even if they aren't using their language skills on the job. Of course, it is not all about work and money.
Learning Spanish will also open doors to a rich world of culture. Imagine having access to the original works of Cervantes, Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda. Imagine enjoying the art of Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, or Diego Rivera, and having an understanding of the cultural setting in which it was created. Picture yourself traveling in Latin America or Spain and actually being able to communicate with the locals. Whatever your reasons, learning Spanish will expand your horizons.
The Spanish Minor requires 18 senior-level credits with a minimum of six SPAN credits at the 300-level.
Students must register in a level that is appropriate to their ability. Please refer to the Spanish Placement information on the Humanities Department website.
