At the start of UNCG, language instruction in Latin was within the Normal department, which was designed to prepare women to be educators. Three years of Latin were required for every student, but the fourth year qualified students for the departmental diploma in Ancient and Modern Languages. The other two languages in the department, French and German, were both three year courses. In 1901, the three languages separated from each other and became the Department of Latin, the Department of French, and the Department of German.
