See the Degree Requirements tab for a list of Classical Humanities courses.

2

Additional courses in Classics or related subjects.  This can include any course in the Classics department (course prefix 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.

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

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.
