SUMMER INSTITUTE

Overview
For nearly 30 years, the Department of Classics at the University of Georgia has sponsored the Summer Classics Institute. The Institute offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, including Latin and Classical Culture courses, and, in alternate years, Intensive Beginning Greek and Intensive Beginning Latin. The Institute's summer programs are an attractive option for

• Latin teachers who wish to continue their education or work towards initial or upgraded certification
• Students who are interested in pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Latin on a summers-only basis
• Students who are seeking a summer enrichment program in Classics.

Classes are held from mid-June to early August; some courses are offered in intensive four-week short sessions. Requirements for the M.A. in Latin may be completed in four summers, including, if the student wishes, one summer term in Rome or on an archaeological site; a non-thesis option, including teaching methods and other additional coursework, is available for teachers. The Classics Department faculty share in a tradition of cooperation with high school teachers and programs that culminates each summer in an exciting and challenging curriculum. We look forward to welcoming you in Athens this coming summer.

Tuition
Tuition rates for summer 2009 are $229 per credit hour plus $356 in fees for in-state students and $830 per credit hour for out-of state students. Latin teachers from outside Georgia receive, upon application, a tuition waiver to reduce tuition to the in-state level. Modest scholarships are also available from the Department (application forms are available in the on-line application packet). Scholarships are also offered by organizations such as the American Classical League (ACL), the Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS), and the Horace Mann Companies; contact these organizations directly for information.
