The Latin major is a designated capstone major. Undergraduate students take a capstone seminar in which they use the skills and expertise acquired in earlier coursework to research, analyze, and complete a written paper or project. They identify and analyze ancient classical documents, material evidence, or other forms of primary sources and demonstrate their critical skills by engaging in presentations and weekly discourse with their peers.
