The department’s programs are designed to allow students to understand the foundations of the western cultural tradition. This is done through a focus on the classical languages and literatures, archaeology, art, mythology and religion, political and social history. Through these studies, students develop skills in critical thinking, reading, writing and speaking. They also develop a sense of the ways in which both shared traditions and personal creativity inform one’s choices, and of the opportunities for good citizenship in a complex world.
Placement Examination
Students who transfer to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, from other colleges and students who enter with high school units in Latin should register for the courses in which they would normally be placed on the basis of such credits. During freshman orientation, a placement test will be given; and students will be advised if a change in registration is indicated by the results.
Proficiency Examinations
Students who have acquired a knowledge of Latin through private study or tutoring should request from the department a proficiency test. A student who earns a grade of B or better in this examination is eligible for credit toward graduation. A student who omits any course in a sequence may receive credit for it by passing the appropriate proficiency examination.
