Summer study in this case is required for efficiency's sake (see below).<br><br>The Certificate in Latin may also be completed gradually, in which case this potential timeline need not apply.<br><br>Courses enclosed within square brackets in the schedule below are elementary- and intermediate-level courses that are available, if necessary, to bring language skills up to the level required to begin certificate studies. The credit hours for these bracketed courses do not count towards the total credit hours required for the certificate.
