Latin Courses

University of South Carolina Aiken

LATIN (ALAT)

Language courses are sequential (101-102 / 121-122 / 201-202); each lower numbered courses is a prerequisite for the next one in the sequence. For entrance into any course except 101, the student must take the previous course or have advanced standing status in the language. It is not permissible for a student to enroll in one of the above courses with a lower number than any other course in that language which the student has successfully completed with a grade of C or better. (For example, enrolling in 101 after completing 102 with a grade of C or better will not be allowed.)

Courses taught in translation do not have a foreign language prerequisite and cannot be used to satisfy the foreign language requirement.

ALAT 101 Introductory Latin. (4)

Continued study of the Latin language, with an emphasis on reading Latin as well as enriching one's English vocabulary and grammatical sensitivity. The course will complete the explanation of the main points of Latin grammar and will provide opportunities to read authentic Latin texts.
