This Minor is designed to provide a basic, but contextual and broad, familiarity with modern Greek language, literature, and culture. More specifically, it requires students to study, at the intermediate and advanced level, Greek and its major authors but at the same time it acquaints them with the broader historical, social, and cultural context in which they lived and worked.

Prerequisites to the Modern Greek Minor:
Modern Greek 201 or equivalent, as determined by the departmental placement examination.

Requirements for the Modern Greek Minor:
At least 16 credits to be chosen from each of the following three groups:

• a broad introductory course in modern Greek culture (e.g. MODGREEK 214: Introduction to Modern Greek Culture)
• Two upper-level courses in modern Greek language and literature above MODGREEK 201
• Two upper-level courses investigating more specific cultural issues in modern Greece, such as the Diaspora and travel (e.g. MODGREEK 318: Greek American Culture, MODGREEK 340: Travels to Greece).
