Greek (Modern) Language and Culture Minor

Effective Winter 2015-Fall 2015

The  minor in   Greek (Modern) Language and Culture  is not open to students with a major in  Greek (Modern) Language and Culture or any other minor in the Department of Classical Studies.

This minor is designed to provide a basic, but contextual and broad, familiarity with Modern Greek language, literature, and culture. More specifically, it requires students to study, at the intermediate and advanced level, Modern Greek and authors writing poetry and/or prose, but at the same time it acquaints the student with the broader historical, social, and cultural content in which these authors lived and worked. The minor is for students who have a strong interest in contemporary Hellenism and who wish to explore it, under close and careful supervision, in a meaningful fashion.

Prerequisite to the Minor:

GREEKMOD 201 (or MODGREEK 201), or equivalent as determined by departmental placement examination.

Requirements for the Minor

At least 16 credits of courses, to be chosen from the following three categories as stated:

1. Modern Greek Language and Literature: at least two courses in modern Greek language and literature, above GREEKMOD 201 (or MODGREEK 201).
2. Modern Greek culture: at least one broad introductory course.
3. Upper-Level courses: at least two upper-level (300- or 400-level) courses in modern Greek diaspora and travel.

Substitutions.

Any appropriate course taught in the area of Modern Greek Studies in departments other than Classical Studies must be approved by the program advisor and the Chair in Modern Greek.
