TRIAD COURSES
The center of the Classics curriculum at Monmouth College is the triad course,
taught simultaneously in translation and in the original languages, according to
student needs. This unique approach brings together students who can work in the
original languages and those who cannot and provides benefits to each.
In
translation, students are exposed to textual analysis in the original languages,
and language students have the advantage of broader discussions of the readings
than a language course usually permits.
In all triad courses, collateral subjects, including art, archaeology, history,
and literature, are studied in order to provide an overview of classical
civilization through a focus on particular authors, periods, and genres.
Classics majors who take a series of triad courses will have a solid foundation
in the classical world in its broadest scope.
In all triad courses, students
study not just an ancient language and its literature but an ancient culture in
its fullest context.
Triad courses are offered in units of three: Classics, Latin, and Greek.
A
student cannot enroll in more than one unit at the same time. Classics courses
require no knowledge of either Latin or Greek. All triad courses devote at least
some attention to the influence of the subject on later Western culture.
