Enrollment and Advising

 

Students interested in majoring or minoring in Latin should meet with the advisor early in their study career. Together the student and advisor will complete a major or minor slip, listing the required courses as well as the number and type of elective courses needed by the student to complete a Latin major or minor. Be cautioned that requirements for the major or minor may change with each new WMU Undergraduate Catalog. The requirements applicable to each student are usually determined by the catalog year under which that student begins his/her study at WMU. Transfer students from Michigan community college are often eligible to apply the WMU catalog in effect at the time they began their studies at the 2-year institution. Your advisor can help you determine which requirements apply to you...another good reason for meeting with him as soon as possible.
