About the Latin Minor
The Latin minor is an 18-credit-hour program that exposes students to a wide variety of courses on the Latin language, as well as poets and philosophers. Students take four required courses and choose additional electives from a list of approved options. UW’s Latin program is one of only two remaining collegiate Latin programs in Wyoming’s state schools and is the only public one left.
Students must be pursuing an undergraduate degree at the University of Wyoming to declare a Latin minor. You do NOT need prior Latin education to pursue this minor.
Latin students can participate in various community engagement events including:
- Art exhibits at the UW Art Museum
- A classic film series
- Theatre productions, including play readings, that demonstrate Greek and Roman cultures
- Outreach for the Out of Chaos Theatre (based in London, UK), the Center for Hellenic Studies (affiliated with Harvard University) and the Kosmos Society
