The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers
undergraduate majors in Classics, French, French Studies, German,
Greek, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and European Cultural Studies, plus a
minor in Italian and coursework in Chinese, Hittite, Sanskrit,
Japanese, and Portuguese. A combined B.A. in French/M.B.A. degree and
an M.A. in Spanish are also offered through the department.
In addition, the department sponsors several study abroad programs and
a variety of co-curricular activities including conversation hours and
language clubs.
A B.A. degree at the University requires the fulfillment of a foreign
language requirement. Students must fulfill this requirement by the end
of their sophomore year. Please see the Bachelor of Arts Degree
Requirements.
Undergraduates who choose to pursue a major or minor in the Department
of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures may wish to consider
complementing their studies with the dual major in International
Affairs, with the teacher education program, or with any of the other
majors and minors available through the University of New Hampshire.
Such coursework will not only broaden a student’s intellectual
horizons, but may also serve to enhance his or her employment
opportunities or prospects for graduate education.

While it is true that classical Greek and Latin are no longer spoken
languages, the literature and art of the Ancients speak to us still. To
study the classics is to come into direct contact with the sources of
Western civilization and culture, both pagan and Christian. An intimate
knowledge of our Greco-Roman heritage furnishes students of the
classics with historical, political, and aesthetic perspectives on the
contemporary world. An undergraduate classics major provides excellent
preparations for careers not only in academic, but also in nonacademic
professions. A background in classics is, moreover, highly advantageous
for applicants to graduate and professional schools in English, modern
languages, history, philosophy, law, medicine, and theology. Finally,
for the qualified student who is undecided about a major but interested
in a sound liberal arts education, classics may be the best option.
The classics major is offered by the classics program of the Department
of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. The minimum requirements for a
major in classics are 40 credits offered by the classics program.
Twenty-four of these must be in Greek and/or Latin. A classics major
must complete as a minimum a 700-level course in one of the classical
languages. A minimum of three courses must be taken at the Durham
campus. Students will be encouraged to take courses in related fields
such as ancient history, classical art, modern languages, and English,
and to take part in overseas study programs in Greece and Italy.
A minor in classics consists of five courses (20 credits) in classics, Greek, and/or Latin.
