Ave Maria University
The Latin minor provides you with the necessary skills to read original, unsimplified Latin literature by classical, patristic and medieval authors. Starting from the very beginning with simple grammar and syntax, you’ll progress to comprehension of the greatest texts of Latin literature from St. Augustine, Virgil, Cicero and more.
Careers: Latinist, Graduate Studies, Teacher, Historian, Religious Life
By joining this program, you’ll gain a depth of knowledge of western civilization that very few people currently possess. From the Latin Vulgate and epistles of the Church Fathers, to the Golden Age of Latin poetry, to the study of modern ecclesiastical documents, you’ll discover a wealth of knowledge hidden to most.
Fast Fact: Proficiency in Latin allows you to understand the most ancient rites of the Roman Liturgy and unlock a treasure of ecclesiastical literature not yet translated into English.
