What to Expect
This hands-on certificate program prepares you to read large quantities of Greek and Latin at an advanced speed. Here, you’ll learn from experts who understand and appreciate the culture—and you’ll benefit from personalized attention thanks to our small class sizes. It takes many years of patient study to master Greek and Latin, however with proper instruction from Case Western Reserve University, a deeper understanding is within reach.
Our coursework offers a deep dive into Greek culture with courses like Readings in Ancient Philosophy, Introduction to Greek Poetry, and Comedy. We also have a well-rounded curriculum in the Latin world with classes like Latin Prose Authors, Horace Odes & Epodes, and Survey of Latin Literature. Regardless of subject, you’ll have the chance to interact with other students at the university and learn from their perspectives on the realities of doctoral study in the humanities.
