MINOR IN MODERN GREEK STUDIES |
The Minor in Modern Greek Studies is an interdisciplinary program for students seeking greater knowledge of contemporary Greek language, literature, history and culture. The program is designed to provide the student with an understanding of Modern Greek language, culture and society in relation to its antecedents, the ancient Greek and Byzantine civilizations.
The Minor is useful to students planning careers in literary and ethnic studies, primary, secondary and higher education, anthropology, history, sociology, translation, the arts, the foreign service, international relations and business, as well as those who desire a better understanding of contemporary Greece and the Hellenic diaspora. The interdisciplinary scope of the program also prepares the student for further study in any number of academic fields at the graduate level.
The Interdisciplinary Minor in Modern Greek Studies consists of 23-31 units. If students do not have competency in Modern Greek language, prerequisites would be required. A core of two four-unit courses and one three-unit course will be required, and an elective group of four three-unit courses will complete the Minor, with three courses to be taken in the Post-Enlightenment periods and one course in the pre-Modern periods.
