University of Dallas, Summer Institute in Classical Languages

Often the question isn't "Why should I study a foreign language?" but "When can I find the time?" Since 1976 the University of Dallas has provided the opportunity to study Greek and Latin outside the limits of the regular academic year. Our summer learners include undergraduate and graduate students from our own and other institutions; high school teachers seeking accreditation, review, professional development, or deepening of knowledge; and a number of people who simply want to be able to study good books in the original language. High school students who have completed the junior year and will be 16 years old by July 1st are also encouraged to apply.

ADMISSION: Applications are accepted up to the day of the first class meeting. For application forms write: Admissions, University of Dallas, 1845 East Northgate Drive, Irving, TX 75062; or call Admissions at (972) 721-5266, or the Braniff Graduate School at (972) 721-5106.

2010 TUITION for undergraduates and special students was $390 per credit or $1170 per 3-credit course; 2011 TUITION has not been determined yet, but can be expected to be similar. Graduate and IPS students should contact the Graduate School at (972) 721-5106 or the Registrar at (972) 721-5221.  (Also, in the spring exact information will be available at the website of the Registrar, at http://www.udallas.edu/academics/registrar.)

2011 FIRST SUMMER SESSION (June 6th-July 8th)

CLG 1301 Elementary Greek I (Staff). MTWR 10 a.m. - 12 noon. Together with Elementary Greek II in the 2nd summer session, this covers the essentials of the grammar and syntax of ancient Greek, both classical and koine. Reading of easy passages from classical prose writers and the New Testament.

CLL 1301/1302 Elementary Latin I & II (Staff). MTWRF 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. A course in Latin grammar and syntax, at the end of which good students are ready to read unadapted Latin prose. Note that, since in just five weeks the course covers material that during the regular academic year needs two semesters, it is so really 'intensive' that students are strongly advised not to be taking other courses at the same time.

CLL 5v50 (staff). MTWR 2 - 4 p.m. An advanced Latin reading course, in a text or texts not yet determined

2011 SECOND SUMMER SESSION (July 11th-August 12th)

CLL 2311 Intermediate Latin I: Roman Prose (Staff). MTWR 10-12. Selected readings of Roman prose writers, primarily Cicero. Prerequisite: Latin 1302 or Latin 1305, or equivalent. A placement exam is required for those who have not completed either of these courses.
