About satisfying the Language Requirement with Latin

Depending on your level of achievement at the time you enter Dartmouth, you can satisfy the Language Requirement either by successfully completing Latin 3, or, if you were already beyond LAT 3 when you came in, by completing any version of Latin 10.

You can do this in any of the following ways:

  • If you are a beginner or near-beginner, you will need to take three courses: LAT 1, LAT 2, and LAT 3.
  • If you know enough Latin to begin with LAT 2, then you need to take two courses: LAT 2 and LAT 3.
  • If you know enough Latin to begin with LAT 3 but not enough to begin in LAT 10, you could take LAT 3 only.
  • If you know enough Latin to begin with LAT 10, you can satisfy the Language Requirement with any version of LAT 10, or with any higher-numbered Latin course.
