Latin at Truman State UniversityMeet our faculty, whose interests range from Plautus to St. Jerome. Individual members are especially interested in such things as Roman history, the meaning of gender in antiquity, Roman satire, post-Classical and early Christian writings, as well as the major and minor works of Vergil. Take Latin at any level (elementary, intermediate, and advanced), even a course in Latin prose composition. Our students read texts based on Roman comedy while studying the fundamentals of Latin at the elementary level; prepare intermediate readings in Cicero, Sallust, Ovid, Catullus, and Apuleius; and do advanced work in epic poetry, drama, philosophy, and history. Related Courses: Latin Across the Curriculum Pursue your interest in Latin by taking courses in Latin or Greek literature (in translation), mythology, classical civilization, and gender studies.

Students on these trips have visited such places as Athens, Mycenae, Delphi, Florence, Rome, and Cairo. Read about these and other (semester and summer) study abroad opportunities.
