BA Latin

The field of Latin focuses on Roman literature and culture in the broadest sense from the 3rd century before Christ until Late Antiquity (6th/7th century AD). In contrast to modern philology, however, the focus is not limited to literature in a strict sense but also includes philosophical and scientific texts. The goal of the program is to teach students to understand and interpret the preserved corpus of Latin literature using the methods of philology (linguistics) and literary theory and communicate this knowledge.
