Of the three units of upper division coursework required outside the first major, the Connections course will count
for one unless it is used to meet a major requirement.
*Six units of either Greek or Latin OR five units of study in one language and two units in the other. (One of the GRK
or LAT 300-level courses may be taken concurrently with CLSC 400 to satisfy the thesis requirement.)
**Additional course in Classical Civilization, numbered 299 or above: ART 360, 361; CLSC 301, 304, 305, 308, 309,
311, 318, 375, 390; CONN 315; HUM 210; PHIL 215; PHYS 299; PG 340. (This Classics elective may be taken
concurrently with CLSC 400 to satisfy the thesis requirement. If this elective is taken with CLSC 400, it must be
labeled CLSC 300 or higher.)
***Senior thesis to be taken after both the required 200-level Classical Civilization courses and Greek or Latin 201 (or
their equivalents) have been completed. The senior thesis must be taken concurrently with a Greek, Latin, or Classics
300-level course and completed in conjunction with the class.
NOTE: Since the Greek or Latin Language track requires at least 5 terms of Greek or Latin, students must normally
begin language study by first semester sophomore year to complete the major in their fourth year. Students entering
Puget Sound with some Latin or Greek should consult with the department about placement and adjustments to major
requirements. At least five units in the major must be completed at Puget Sound.
