Minor in Latin

Minor
Randolph College

The history of thought since the time of Aristotle has witnessed the fragmentation of knowledge into increasingly more specialized categories, a trend which continues unabated today. Yet in the public debate on almost any contemporary issue of significance, there are moral, political, aesthetic, or technological considerations which overlap and often conflict; an understanding of these interrelationships is crucial if one is to be a competent citizen in an increasingly complex world.
The unique virtue of a minor in Classical Civilization is that it is by nature interdisciplinary, entailing the study of language, history, art and literature, religion, and philosophy. Because many of the great issues which confronted the Greeks and Romans are precisely those which we are still trying to resolve, the study of the classics provides an excellent introduction to the many facets of human struggle and achievement. It is the essence of the liberal arts, to which, to borrow a phrase from Terence, no dimension of human experience is foreign.

The fee is used to partially offset costs associated with Commencement, including the graduation robe, cap, and tassel, printing of diplomas and programs, speaker travel and accommodations, etc. One time only.
    • Student Accident Insurance
      • All full-time Randolph College students are covered by an Individual Student Accident Policy. This policy assures that if a student is injured during the academic year, there is up to a $5,000 accidental medical benefit in place. The mandatory plan is a nominal charge of $61 per semester charged to the student's tuition account. Since unforeseen illnesses and accidents do happen, Randolph College is working to facilitate a student's academic success by not having to worry about unforeseen medical bills due to lack of coverage.
    • Student Medical Costs
      • The services of the College nurse practitioner, nurses, and counselors, and the use of the Health and Counseling Center are provided to residential students without additional cost. Non-residential, full-time students are charged a mandatory, nonrefundable fee of $50 per semester for Health Center and Counseling Center services. Patients are expected to pay for medications, laboratory work and, if additional medical attention is desired, for such fees as those of the hospitals, urgent care centers, surgeons, special nurses, and/or consulting physicians.
    Other Financial Aid to Pay for College:
    • You may be eligible for additional financial aid from Federal, State, and Local sources. Military education benefits are not considered in determining eligibility for federal financial aid. Everyone is therefore encouraged to apply for federal financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), because many will qualify for additional educational funds like Pell Grants, worth over $5,500/yr.
