Latin - Marshall University

Latin from Marshall University is a Campus Master Latin American Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Latin M.A. is a 33-hour degree that consists of twenty-one hours of advanced Latin on the 500- and 600-levels, six hours of related courses taught in English, and six thesis hours. The program fills significant needs in West Virginia and surrounding states. It will allow current Latin teachers to expand their knowledge base and to strengthen their own programs. It will also contribute to the training new teachers of Latin on the middle and secondary school levels, and will prepare students to enter Ph.D. programs in Classical Philology. The M.A. in Latin is not designed to replace the M.A.T. in Latin currently offered by Marshall, nor does it guarantee licensing or certification to teach Latin in WV. It will, however, allow teachers certified in other disciplines to add Latin as a content area, and it will provide additional graduate hours for persons that hold professional teaching certification in Latin . All students will be required to write an M.A. thesis of approximately 50-70 pages. Topics will be literary, and grounded in cultural contexts and literary critical techniques. They can focus on one author, or on themes or subjects found in more than one author. The research and writing of the thesis will extend over two semesters. In the first, students, working with an advisor, will develop and begin preliminary research on an author. In the second, they will continue their research and complete the actual writing. Students will be encouraged to present their research at national or regional conferences. View more details on Marshall University .
