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.
2009
TUITION for
undergraduates and special students was $375
per credit or $1125 per 3-credit course; 2010 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.)
2010 FIRST SUMMER SESSION (June 7th-July 9th)
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 (Dr. David Sweet). 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.
2010 SECOND SUMMER SESSION (July 13th-August 13th)
CLG 1302 Elementary Greek II (Staff). MTWR 10 - 12.
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.
CLL 5v50 Vergil's Georgics (Dr. Karl Maurer). MTWR 2 - 4 p.m. An
advanced Latin reading course in one of the most beautiful, most astonishing poems of the ancient world.
