Summary: 


At UCLA, there are (were?) two classes from the Classics department,
Greek 40 and Latin 40, entitled "The Greek(latin) Element in the
English Language."  These are basically etymology classes and
fairly easy.  Football jocks take them as vocabulary-building
classes, for example, but someone with a deeper interest in
language can derive a lot more from these classes than that.
