Overview
Students who enter this Latin program from Catholic University of America may elect the study of Greek to enrich their work, although this is not required. With full-time study, this degree can be completed in two to three years, depending upon when a student elects to take comprehensive exams.
Prerequisite exams
The comprehensive exams for the M.A. in Latin are preceded by two other foundational requirements: the modern language exam and the sight-translation exam.
Modern language exam in French or German
Competence in French or German is demonstrated by passing a departmental examination. The examination is one hour long and consists of a single passage of academic French or German. A dictionary may be used. To pass the examination, students must be able to translate approximately one full page into standard English with a high level of accuracy. Students who have not previously studied the language at the college level should first take and pass the graduate-level reading courses offered by the Department of Modern Languages (French 500 or German 500).
Sight-translation exam
To qualify to take a translation (reading list) examination in Latin, graduate students must pass a sight examination in that language. Sight examinations are one hour long, and consist of a single passage in prose and a single passage in poetry. They are taken without a dictionary by arrangement with the graduate advisor.
