The BA requires completion of two courses of collegiate-level writing instruction. Students who test out of Composition will still need to complete ENGL 102 (or equivalent) and one additional Goal 2.1 course. 

2

CLSX 305 fulfills KU Core Goal 3H. 

3

Hour requirements (incl. 45 jr/sr hrs) are typically met through KU core, degree, major, second area of study and/or elective hours.  Students completing the BGS with a major must choose a secondary area of study.  Individual degree mapping is done in partnership with your advisor.

4

Refer to the Degree Requirements tab for a list of courses that can fulfill this major requirement.

5

Additional courses in Classics or related subjects.  This can include any course in the Classics department (course codes LAT, GRK, or CLSX).  Related courses from other departments may be substituted but require written permission from the Chair or the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

6

It is possible to overlap your KU Core Courses with Classics major requirements; see below for all options. Your advisor can help you create a degree plan that maximizes your choices.

KU Core Options within the department

Please note:

All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are required to complete 120 total hours of which 45 hours must be at the Jr/Sr (300+) level.

The same course cannot be used to fulfill more than one KU Core Goal. However, overlap of a KU Core course with a major or degree-specific requirement is allowed. Overlapping is recommended to allow more opportunities to explore other majors and/or minors.
