CLAS 205 D: Bioscientific Vocabulary Building From Latin and Greek

3 credits *** Satisfies A&H

Classics 205, a popular 3-credit course option for all students, is especially useful for those whose main interests are in STEM subjects or who intend to enter the medical field.  The course is designed to help the student master the scientific and technical vocabulary of his or her particular field, with particular reference to the biological sciences, through a study of the Latin and Greek roots used to create the majority of scientific terms.  Knowledge of Latin or Greek is not required.

PLEASE NOTE that in Autumn '23, there will be 6 sections of Classics 205. The sections meet MWF, with classes available at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30.  Check the Time Schedule for details.

The textbook can be purchased at the University bookstore  for about $25: Donald M. Ayers, Bioscientific Terminology: Words from Latin and Greek Stems (The University of Arizona Press)
