Certificate in Classical and Medieval Latin

Canada

9

What will I learn?

The Certificate of Proficiency in Classical and Medieval Latin cultivates the ability to translate and interpret Classical and Medieval Latin texts. It is designed to assist students who wish to incorporate classical and/or medieval Latin in their studies, or who are simply interested in developing a reading knowledge of Latin.

The Certificate in Classical and Medieval Latin is offered by the University of Saskatchewan's College of Arts and Science. You may earn the certificate on its own, concurrently with a degree, or after having already received a degree from here or another institution.

What you will learn

You will learn how to translate and interpret Classical and Medieval Latin texts. You will not only learn how to read Latin but will receive rigorous training in grammatical and stylistic analysis, as well as the broader tools employed in the philological study of texts including situating of texts in a wider historical, cultural, and literary context.

Careers

The program is designed to be of particular use to students who wish to employ Latin in research — at either the undergraduate or graduate level — involving primary texts from the ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and early-modern periods, but it offers something for everyone.

The knowledge and skills fostered by the study of Latin have assisted students in obtaining graduate degrees in a number of areas (Classics, English, French, History, Linguistics, Medieval Studies, Philosophy) and provide a valuable asset to those seeking careers in fields such as:

  • law
  • education
  • museum and curatorial studies
  • digital humanities
  • administration
  • library and information science

More generally, the study of Latin is invaluable to anyone who will be employing written or spoken English as part of their profession.
