  2. GREK 101/102 is offered every two or three years. CLAS majors should enroll in the course when it is available.
  3. FYQR 110 or a QR waiver are also acceptable for the FYQR Core Foundations requirement.
  4. CLAS 235/335 is offered every two or three years, CLLA majors should enroll in the course when it is available. Speak with a Classics professor to determine whether 235 or 335 is more appropriate.
  5. To arrive at 8 credits for the CLAS major, multiple CLAS major electives are required.
  6. At least 1 CLAS credit must be taken at the 300-level.
  7. A list of options for CLAS major electives can be found at the Requirements
