A minor in Greek opens up the treasures of an ancient civilization.

The Greek minor provides students a strong grounding in ancient Greek language and literature, allowing you to read the poets, playwrights, and philosophers who have influenced humanity for thousands of years. Students who are interested in reading the New Testament in its original language should also start with study of ancient Greek.
