Latin - Beginning, Microcredential

The microcredential in beginning Latin consists of six required credit hours. Satisfactory completion of the required courses would allow the student to develop the necessary skills to conduct beginning-level comprehension in Latin by acquiring appropriate vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening comprehension, speaking capabilities, and an introduction to cultures using Latin to communicate.

Continuation Standards

Students are expected to earn a grade of "C" or better in each required course. Students who do not achieve the "C" or better grade in a required course will be expected to repeat the course in an attempt to achieve the "C" or better grade. Students may repeat a required course one time. Failure to achieve the "C" or better grade after one repeat attempt will have the student dismissed from the microcredential in Beginning Latin.

Note: SLU-Madrid and SLU-St. Louis program requirements vary slightly by campus.
