Ancient and Medieval Studies
The following are the course and credit requirements for the Major emphasis in Ancient and Medieval Studies. You can also access this information on the UW-Green Bay Catalog page the World Cultures Emphasis on the UW-Green Bay Catalog.
All Humanities majors are expected to fulfill the non-English language requirement by completing one of the following:
Complete at least two college-level semesters of a non-English language. Students who have taken French, German or Spanish in high school or who have acquired a knowledge of the language elsewhere may receive credit for that preparation by passing an advanced-level UW-Green Bay course with a grade of āCā or better.
Demonstrate the equivalent level of proficiency in a non-English language on a proficiency exam. NOTE: Students seeking to fulfill the language requirement through proficiency testing in French, German, or Spanish should contact the appropriate language coordinator. For skill assessment in other languages, students should contact the chair of Modern Languages
