INTENSIVE CLASSICAL GREEK
Presents the grammar and structure of Attic Greek and teaches a basic vocabulary for reading the monuments of Ancient Greek literature first-hand. The Attic dialect was the main vehicle of Golden Age Greek philosophy, drama and history and is the foundation of biblical Greek. Plato and Saint Paul are featured readings.
INTENSIVE CLASSICAL LATIN
Introduces the student to the grammar and structure of Latin and presents an essential vocabulary; covers all necessary sentence structures for reading classical and ecclesiastical texts. We will read from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, St. Augustine, and the Bible.
INTENSIVE BIBLICAL HEBREW
The student will master the writing system, pronunciation, and morphology of Classical Biblical Hebrew and will acquire the vocabulary and knowledge of syntax necessary for reading prose narrative texts. At least the final two weeks of the eight-week course will be devoted to translating passages from Genesis and Kings.

GRE 1130 Accelerated Beginning Ancient Greek I
GRE 1131 Accelerated Beginning Ancient Greek II
The University of Florida offers the opportunity for students to acquire a full year of ancient Greek in a single summer. After completion of GRE 1130 and 1131 will be prepared to read ancient Greek texts such as Plato, Homer, and the New Testament. Because the summer courses are small (usually 10-15), students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with UF's experienced Ancient Greek teaching team.

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.

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.

Basic Program in Greek
Upper Level Program in Latin
The Latin/Greek Institute of The City University of New York is a collaborative effort of the City University Graduate Center and Brooklyn College. The Institute offers intensive, total-immersion programs in ancient languages during the summer that enable serious, highly motivated high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to cover the material normally included in several semesters of conventional work in a single summer. All programs are team-taught by experienced instructors. In addition to being intensive, the programs are unique in that they provide 24-hour availability of faculty to assist students by phone in the preparation of assignments, hourly rotation of staff to provide for exposure to a variety of approaches, and a low student-faculty ratio.
The basic programs of the Latin/Greek Institute enable students with no previous training in either language to cover the material normally included in four to six semesters of college-level Latin or Greek in ten weeks of instruction and, upon completing the program, to enroll in senior undergraduate reading courses.
In summer 2005 the Upper Level Program in Latin will be offered in addition to the basic programs in Latin and Greek.
Please see our web site for details.

The Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens announces the establishment of a new summer session focused on the teaching of Medieval Greek, beginning in summer, 2005.
Founded in 1881, the American School is the most significant resource in Greece for American scholars in the fields of ancient and post-classical studies. One of the two major research libraries of the School, the Gennadius Library, which houses 110,500 volumes and archives, is devoted to post-classical Hellenic civilization, and will offer a four-week Summer Session for Medieval Greek at the Intermediate Level from mid-July to mid-August, 2005. The objective is to familiarize students who have a sound foundation in Classical Greek with Medieval Greek language and philology by exposing them to primary sources, different kinds of literary genres, paleography and epigraphy as well as bibliographic and electronic tools, drawing on the resources of the Gennadius Library. The program will also include site and museum visits. The session, which will be led by two professors to be selected in Fall 2004, will have ten members.
STRUCTURE
The four-week program will include daily analysis and translation of Byzantine texts; paleography; introduction to the bibliography of Byzantine philology and electronic resources; introduction to the collections of the Gennadius Library; visits to area museums and libraries including the Byzantine, the Benaki, and the Epigraphy Museums and the National Library; visits to sites, museums, and monuments outside Athens including Thessaloniki, Hosios Loucas and Daphni; and individual tutorial and assignments for each student determined by his/her specific needs and field of study.
ELIGIBILITY
The program is offered at the intermediate level, and will be geared to students enrolled in a graduate program in any field of Byzantine studies in a North American or European university. A minimum of two years of college level Classical Greek (or the equivalent) is required. If there are available spots, college professors in North America or Europe who have no access to the instruction of Medieval Greek in their home institutions may also be considered. A diagnostic test (available electronically) will be administered to finalists before the final selection of students is made.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
The American School is not a degree-granting institution. No grades are given for its programs, nor are transcripts provided. An optional final exam at the end of the program may be provided if requested, and the directors will write a letter to the participant's home institution, if requested, recommending that credit be granted, provided that the student has satisfactorily participated in the program and passed the final exam.
COSTS
The fee of $2,500 covers the entire four weeks in Greece. This includes tuition, lodging for the entire period, domestic travel within Greece, and museum and site fees. International airfare to and from Greece, meals, and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Two scholarships are available for the full amount of the fee, awarded on the basis of academic merit. Rates and fees are subject to change without notice.

The University of Texas at Austin Summer Program features a renowned intensive Ancient Greek course and lower-division Latin.
First Summer Session runs from June 3 - July 7, 2004

Whole Summer Session (for Intensive Greek) runs from June 3 - August 16, 2004.

Intensive Summer Greek Program
For over thirty years summer Intensive Greek has been taught at UT Austin. The course runs through both Summer Sessions. It meets for five hours each day for fifty days, and if satisfactorily completed, counts for 12 semester hours of credit. In addition to classroom work, out-of-class preparation is required: past students estimate amounts ranging from 2 1/2 hours a day up to a considerably higher amount.
This course is for the highly motivated and resolute student. For such a person, however, it has a value that goes beyond the academic credits and technical skills that are required. Classes working under these demanding conditions have achieved an enthusiasm and spirit that have produced an unusually rich learning experience. Informal play-readings and poetry recitals happen frequently, and students in the past have organized extra study groups for their own particular readings, such as Platonic dialogues, Homer or the Gospels.
No previous knowledge of Greek is required. The student starts the first minute on the Greek alphabet. Work in the first five weeks of the course is based on Lexis, a workbook developed for the course, used in it for the last several years; its use has extended to other universities. When Lexis is finished the class moves to extensive continuous reading.
Undergraduate students from past intensive courses have been able to go into classes at junior, senior, even graduate level at the University of Texas or their home institutions. The course has also been especially successful in making it possible for graduate students in such fields as English, Comparative Literature, Theology, and especially Philosophy to offer a classical component in their program for the doctorate. Since all are starting equally from the beginning, the mix of graduate and undergraduate students in the course has always worked well and been helpful to both levels.
Current UT students are encouraged to enroll early. Non-UT students should apply as Summer Transient Students (http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/transient/). They should also contact the Undergraduate Coordinator and ask to be added to a priority enrollment list. So far we have been able to accommodate everyone who has asked to take the course, but last summer stretched us to our maximum capacity. The course requires enrollment in GK w804 and GK w412 in order to reach the 12 semester hour credit level. Please refer to the Summer course schedule (here) for information about tuition and fees.
The deadline for applying as a summer transient student is May 1, 2004. The Summer 2004 Course Schedule will probably be available sometime around March 30, 2004. Registration for transient students should be on June 1 and 2. The first class day is June 3. The last class day is August 13.
The estimated In-state tuition for 12 hours in Summer 2003 was approximately $2,366. The estimated rate for non-residents was approximately $5418. (New rates not yet available, but we are expecting a tuition increase.)
Summer Transient Students can get more information about University housing from the Department of Housing and Food Service (http://www.utexas.edu/student/housing/).
If you have any questions about the Summer Intensive Greek program please contact the Undergraduate Coordinator.

The APSU study abroad to Greece program combines ancient and modern. The goal is to demonstrate the importance of Greece in all of its historical periods. Students take two courses, Greek Art and Archaeology and Intensive Modern Greek, and earn seven hours of undergraduate credit. We begin with two weeks in Chania, Crete, where we meet twice a day in a seminar setting. In the morning we discuss the history of archaeology in Greece, in the afternoon, we do modern Greek. When we leave Chania, we spend three weeks on the road, visiting sites from Crete to Northern Greece, and from the neolithic to the modern. In addition to the ancient sanctuaries, palaces, healing centers, and pan-hellenic games sites, we also visit Byzantine, Medieval, and modern sites. Through the study of Modern Greek, we learn about contemporary Greek life, literature, music, and dance. The program includes a three-day stay in Greek homes, a hike, through the Samaria Gorge on Crete, and a few unexpected delights. We spend the final four days in and around Athens.

Cumae I: Goddess and Hero Cult of Latium and Campania, July 1-13
Directors: Patricia Johnston, Brandeis University, Marilyn Skinner, University of Arizona
On this study tour, we propose to visit selected cult sites, focusing on the goddesses Diana, Juno, Cybele and Isis, and the Hero cults associated with them in Latium and Campania. We will examine the original character of the local cult and its relationship to the surrounding community, changes and continuities when it became part of an overarching ìRomanî religious system, and perseverance as a sacred locale after the emergence of Christianity.
Natives and Newcomers in Southern Italy, July 15-27
Directors: Linda Fabrizio, Classical Association of the Empire State & Madeleine Henry,Iowa State
Southern Italy is distinct and distinctive in part because of the presence of the Greek Colonies. In this program we will focus on those Greek colonies, from their foundings through the conquest of Rome and their eventual enfolding into Roman imperium. We will include the interaction of the Greeks with the Italian peoples, as well as with each other, and also investigate how Greek influences persisted (and persist) in South Italy, in language, commerce and culture.
Greeks and Romans in the City: Urbanization in the Shadow of Vesuvius, July 29-August 10
Steven E. Ostrow (MIT) and Ann O. Koloski-Ostrow (Brandeis)
This program will highlight major questions of the urban planning and design that make the enchanted terrain along the Bay of Naples so rich a showcase of Greek and Roman solutions to the problems of daily life in antiquity. We will investigate Graeco-Roman approaches to colonization; the continuity of pre-Greek and pre-Roman settlements with their succeeding inhabitants; problems of functional layout and city planning; connections -- physical, social, economic -- between town and country. The splendid array of ancient Campanian sites offers an unparalleled landscape from which to delve into these questions.
