the general education requirements; LATN or GRK
courses used to satisfy the foreign language
requirement for the BA degree; directed readings in
LATN or GRK; and study abroad programs approved by
the director. Additional courses beyond those listed
may be approved by the director if they significantly
advance the student's understanding of classics. No
