The Certificate in Classical & Medieval Latin will allow students to develop and receive a credential for a proficiency in Latin sufficient for graduate-level research. Attainment of the certificate will affirm that the student has completed a focused course of study designed to cultivate the ability to translate and interpret Classical and Medieval Latin texts, in which attention is paid not only to fundamental points of diction, syntax, textual variants, and, where appropriate, meter, but the practice of situating a text in a broader historical, cultural, and literary context.
