Classical Greek Reading Course

This course is an accelerated study of the basics of Attic Greek grammar and syntax. Comprehension and translation skills will be developed through ample readings from authors primarily of the Classical Period, but some attention will also be paid to New Testament writers. The pace of the course will be accelerated, but carefully measured, to allow students to assimilate the complex material to the greatest extent possible in a summer session. The course is ideal for students in theology, philosophy, history, and literary studies and for others with no prior background in Greek who want to acquire competence in reading Ancient Greek texts. The course (Greek 203) costs $480, and is available only on an audit basis through the Graduate School. Interested students should apply to the Graduate School for application information at (414) 288-7137.
