DESCRIPTION:

Dates for 2008:
Introductory courses: June 23rd through August 22nd (if you must, you can sign up for the first six weeks only);
Intermediate courses: June 23rd through August 1st.

All classes are intensive and meet five days per week, morning and afternoon. Participation takes a full-time commitment on the part of faculty and students alike. We strongly recommend that students find housing in Hyde Park (the neighborhood in which the University is located) for the duration of their summer program.

The beginning courses spend at least the last four weeks on original texts; the intermediate courses focus on prose and include intensive grammar review, including prose composition.

First-year Greek students, especially: please bring a laptop along, if you have one, preferably equipped with wireless internet. LEARN the alphabet before you come, please.

Two-thirds of our classes are faculty-taught.

This summer, faculty include:

Introductory Latin: Michael Allen
Intermediate Latin: David Wray and Michael Allen
Introductory Greek: David Wray and Helma Dik
Intermediate Greek: James Redfield and David Martinez

Mental and physical health note: Both for-credit and audit participants will gain full access to facilities such as the Regenstein library and the brand-new gym, with Olympic-size pool.

Financial health note: If you do not require academic credit, but 'just' want to learn Greek or Latin, consider the auditing option offered on the Graham School website. This is a substantial savings, and faculty will not treat auditors any differently from for-credit participants. NOTE: 2008 may be the last year in which an audit option is available.
