Getting Started in Classical Studies: 2023-2024 Entering Transfers
🔙
Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major, although transfer students' records are screened for preparation for many majors at the time of admission. Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.
|
Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major: |
Classical studies has no major qualification requirements. Students should submit a petition to declare before or by their declaration deadline quarter. While classical studies does not have an official qualification policy, it should be noted that the major requires the successful completion of upper-division coursework in ancient Greek and/or Latin language literature. Students who are unable to successfully complete the introductory sequence in elementary ancient Greek (GREE 1 and 2) or Latin (LATN 1 and 2) language will not be able to advance to the upper-division coursework required for this major. Review major qualification requirements in the General Catalog. |
