Advising & Placement: Latin and Classical Studies

If you have previously taken Latin and have questions about which course is appropriate for you, we recommend you take a placement test to help determine your level of proficiency. Please contact Teaching Assistant Professor Tim Nidever at tnidever@pdx.edu to set up a day and time to take a placement test. Please include the following information in your email:
•  PSU ID number
•  Where and when you studied the language and for how long
•  How long it has been since you last studied the language

Please note: This placement test does not waive the Second Language Requirements. Students who need to take a proficiency exam to fulfill the second language requirement for the admission, Bachelor of Arts (BA), or Master of Arts (MA), see the Second Language Requirements page for information and instructions. 

Request a Faculty Advisor for Classical Studies Minors

• If you plan to minor in Classical Studies, please complete the Advisor Request Form to request a faculty advisor. Once you submit this form, you will be matched with a language advisor and notified via email from world@pdx.edu. 
• For information on your general undergraduate requirements, consult your pathway advisor. Your assigned advisor's name and contact information is listed in your myPSU account on the "Academics" page. More information on how to find your advisor can be found on the Advising Pathways website.
