Latin with
Secondary School Teaching Certification
Latin Major
with Teaching Certification
Latin majors study the linguistic,
literary, and cultural heritage of the Mediterranean world through courses
in language, literature (both in the original and in translation), and
art and archaeology. The areas of emphasis are Latin literature and Roman
culture, as a complement to the language instruction at the secondary
level.
For the Latin teaching major,
students must fulfill the requirements for the Latin B. A. degree (32
units) while concurrently fulfilling the requirements of five courses
(15 units) in the College of Education, and a Methodology course with
Practicum (5 units) and Student Teaching (12 units) in the Department
of Classics. Students should plan their curriculum in the College of Education
with the Latin Program Director.
Career Orientations
In addition to teaching skills
and national certification for secondary school teaching, Latin teaching
majors will be prepared to do research and make scholarly contributions
in the fields of language acquisition, teaching methodology, and effective
pedagogical techniques. Students should be aware that there is currently
a nationwide shortage of high school Latin teachers and employment opportunities
are promising.
