Improve your English vocabulary.

Latin will help you understand the specialized vocabulary of many different courses, including those offered by HSHP, Pre-law, and practically everything offered by the School of Humanities and Sciences—in fact, the words “Humanities” and “Sciences” are themselves derived from Latin: humanitates and scientiae! Improve your knowledge of English literature and History, both of which are deeply influenced by Roman thought and culture.
