Requirements for the Minor in Global Antiquity

To achieve the minor, students must:

  1. Complete 25 unit in courses cross-listed with Global Antiquity. None of these courses can be used to fulfil criteria for any other programme of study.
  2. The 25 unit must include 5 unit in a post-Beginners level course in an ancient language.
      1. Acceptable 5 unit courses that fulfil this requirement: Classical Chinese; Intermediate ancient Greek or higher; Intermediate Latin or higher; Intermediate Sanskrit or higher; or an equivalent course as approved by the Minor Advisor.
      2. A 2 unit Independent Language Study & Research course (ILSR) at intermediate level or above will also fulfill the prerequisite for the minor provided that the ILSR is letter graded.
      3. Please note that the first Beginning level ancient language course cannot be counted towards the Minor. All subsequent Beginning level ancient language courses can be counted towards the Minor once a student has taken an Intermediate level course. These additional Beginning level courses may be counted retroactively if taken before the Intermediate level.

    The minor in Global Antiquity promotes a comparative, transregional approach, and students are strongly encouraged to pursue studies in at least two different ancient traditions.  Comparable courses taken through off-campus study or otherwise currently not cross-listed may be approved at the discretion of the Faculty Coordinator.

    Courses taken for a course cannot be double-counted toward the minor, and all courses for the minor taken at Yale-NUS or NUS must have a letter grade.
