Every year, several levels of Ancient Greek and Latin courses are offered through the Classics Department under L09 and L10 course numbers, respectively. Both majors and non-majors are welcome in all language courses, and various combinations of these courses will fulfill the LC requirement of the IQ curriculum.
Greek
Courses
Students who arrive at Washington University having already studied some Greek should contact the instructor of 101D-102D to discuss proper placement. A placement exam for Greek is available from William Bubelis, the director of undergraduate studies, Catherine Keane, the department chair, or Amelia Goldsby, the department administrator at classics@wustl.edu.
-
L09 Greek 101D (Fall) and 102D (Spring) constitute the introductory course in Ancient Greek grammar and syntax.
-
L09 Greek 317C (Fall) and 318C (Spring) are the follow-up courses to 101D-102D and center around readings from unmodified ancient prose and verse texts respectively, with integrated grammar review.
-
L09 Greek 190D (Spring) and 210 (Fall) are an intensive introductory sequence, an alternative to the regular fall-spring sequence that allows students to begin studying Greek in spring. Because these courses meet five days a week and move fairly quickly, they cover three semesters' worth of the regular sequence in two semesters: i.e., the introductory grammar and syntax *and* the material encountered in Greek 317C. These students can then enter Greek 318C along with the students from the regular sequence.
-
L09 Greek courses at the 400 level are advanced seminars involving substantial readings in Greek, readings from modern scholarship, and research projects.
- Less regularly, L09 Greek 301 (The New Testament in Context) is offered; interested students should discuss prerequisites with the instructor.
