Latin Courses Faculty Request Info Classics at PSU For nearly two millenia, much of European literature, scholarship, diplomacy, and even aspects of everyday life, found expression in Latin. Studying Latin will open up to these worlds to you, and will reveal ways in which Latin still influences contemporary culture. The study of Latin at Portland State equips you to begin reading unadapted, "free-range" Latin by the end of the second year. Courses in Roman culture and literature are also offered each year (taught in English). Degree Programs The Department of World Languages and Literatures offers a Classical Studies Minor. The department also offers a Certificate in Intercultural Competence for the Workplace, a Certificate in Pedagogy in World Languages, and a Certificate in Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies.
