Program details

Overview

The Certificate in Ancient Languages is a 21-credit-hour, seven-course credential offered at Memorial University's St. John's campus for students interested in languages no longer spoken as first languages but retaining ongoing cultural and scholarly significance. Coursework draws from offerings such as Elementary Latin, Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, and Sanskrit Language Study, and the certificate is designed to complement study in archaeology, classics, history, linguistics, philosophy, and religious studies. It functions as an add-on credential for students already admitted to another Memorial University program rather than a standalone degree. Direct admission is not available; applicants apply through the general undergraduate admissions process and then arrange to add the certificate with the program director. The certificate is not currently accepting new students.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct admission to this certificate is not available. Prospective students must first apply through Memorial University's general undergraduate admissions process and meet the university's general admission requirements, which does not guarantee acceptance into this specific certificate; currently admitted Memorial students add the certificate by contacting the program director. The program is not accepting new students at this time.
