CLAS 190 - Medical Greek and Latin

Credits: 2

This course is designed to teach students about the Greek and Latin roots relevant for the study of modern medical terminology. By the end of the course, students will be able to (1) define some of the most common Greek and Latin prefixes, suffixes, and bases found in medical terminology, (2) recognize the Greek and Latin roots in that terminology, and (3) infer the meaning of both familiar and unfamiliar medical terminology based on their knowledge of those Greek and Latin roots. This course does not count toward the CLAS major or minor.
