Notes:

***Some of the courses required for the Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA also satisfy distribution requirements. The grid above indicates semester schedules that maximize the overlap between the Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA and distribution requirements. Students may opt to satisfy their distribution requirements with courses outside of the Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA requirements.

***The Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA requires successful completion of two Writing Intensive (WI) courses and one Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course. The grid above indicates one way to configure these requirements. Students may be able to complete the Writing Intensive requirement in Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA courses.

***The Classics: Classical Languages and Literatures BA requires 18 sh of study in Greek and/or Latin, and 6 sh of these 18 sh must be in 100 level courses. The grid above indicates one way to satisfy this requirement. Other configurations are possible. The grid also allows for space to continue with either/both language(s) after the successful completion of 18 sh in order to increase language proficiency.

***The grid above assumes no prior study of the Latin and/or Ancient Greek language(s). If you enter Hofstra with prior study of the Latin and/or Ancient Greek language(s), your grid may look different once your Latin and/or Ancient Greek language(s) proficiency has been assessed.
