(2) The minimum language requirement for this module is normally not sufficient for admittance to graduate programs in Classics/Classical Studies, which usually require a solid foundation in both Latin and Greek. Students who are considering graduate work in Classics should enrol in both Greek and Latin and combine their Honours Specialization in Classical Studies with a Minor in Greek or Latin.
