The minor in Greek introduces students to the language and culture of ancient Greece. It develops skills in reading and comprehending classical Greek, with a focus on the prose literature of ancient Athens and the poetry of Homer. This minor may complement a student's intended major study, especially in philosophy, history, religious studies, biblical studies, political science, and English; it may also be useful for students planning to go to medical school.
