Students study the Latin language in order to read the actual words of the ancient texts, to understand and appreciate these writings both in the original languages and in translation, and to understand and appreciate Roman history and culture. Students who plan to teach Latin in secondary schools should major in Latin and complete the teacher preparation program.
