96428 - Latin

Course Overview

Latin plays a crucial role in many professional domains, including Health and Medicine, Law, Psychology, Anthropology and Archaeology, as well as plenty of other scientific and historical fields. A foundational knowledge of Latin enhances one’s career and professional growth but also aids in grasping complex terminologies and concepts.

Traditional Latin courses often delve deep, spanning multiple semesters and focusing extensively on linguistic mastery, which may not directly apply to practical, real-world uses.

This course offers a pragmatic approach, providing participants with a robust grounding in Latin. It specifically targets basic terminology and vocabulary, incorporating real-life examples to enhance understanding. While basic grammar is covered, the emphasis is more on practical application than on exhaustive linguistic details.

Offered as a hybrid format, this course includes live online sessions and grants access to the UNM Continuing Education Learning Management System (LMS). Here, participants can find assignments, quizzes, and opportunities for interaction with peers and the instructor, making for a dynamic and interactive learning experience.
