Rutgers Classics announces the third year of the intensive Latin summer program, which aims to give students with no prior experience in the language a significant foundation in Latin. Our eight-week intensive course is fully online and will cover the entire first year of Latin in the first five weeks after which students will read texts by Catullus and Cicero during the remaining three weeks.

Rutgers’ fully online program will combine asynchronous and two-hour synchronous sessions (on Monday/Wednesday/Friday). Students are expected to devote several hours every day to homework assignments and class preparation and will have round-the-clock access to instructors.
Students, undergraduates, graduate students, and adults simply seeking to learn a new and exciting language are welcome to take the course.
Tuition for this eight credit course is $2,683 (for New Jersey residents) and $6,190 (for non-residents of New Jersey).

Summer Latin and Classics Online – UMass Amherst
Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, Munich, 31st July – 4th August 2023
The Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute invites applications for its annual Summer School in Latin Lexicography, which is scheduled to take place in Munich, July 31 to August 4, 2023. We welcome participation by researchers at any stage in their career whose work engages with Latin vocabulary, whether in specific texts or across the entire corpus of ancient Latin. In addition to philology, relevant disciplines include history, epigraphy, linguistics, literary and textual criticism, medieval and Renaissance studies, philosophy, and theology. This year Prof. Rolando Ferri will be present as the scholar in residence.
The program involves three types of activity. First, seminars and related exercises address Latin lexicography in general, the methods and format of the TLL, and unusual text corpora (e.g. inscriptions, the Vetus Latina Bible translation, ancient lexicography). Secondly, participants collaborate in the production of a short lexicographic entry, which will be published in a forthcoming fascicle (lemma to be determined). Lastly, there is daily time for participants’ own research in the Thesaurus Archive, supported by advice from researchers at the dictionary. Nevertheless, the time for independent research is very limited, and we encourage researchers with more extensive projects to plan a longer stay.
The workshop begins at 9:30 am on July 31. Daily activities typically run from 9:30 until roughly 5:00pm, with some optional evening excursions. Participants are responsible for their own housing; occasional refreshments will be provided. The language of group instruction is English, but one-on-one support is available in Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Applications must be received by February 15, 2023 by email to summerschool@thesaurus.badw.de. Applications should include a curriculum vitae and a one- to two-page Statement of Benefit. The Statement should describe one or more words that you plan to investigate (whether or not they have been published in the TLL), why they are important for your research, and what questions you hope to address during your stay. It is important to show familiarity with existing lexicographic resources. Given the limited time available for independent research, we encourage you to set modest goals or consider a longer visit. Only fifteen participants can be accepted, who will be notified by March 1.
Incidentals fee: €120
Location: Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Alfons-Goppel-Str. 11, 80539, Munich, Germany

UT Austin Intensive Summer Greek program (1 June – 14 August)
The Classics Department of the University of Texas at Austin is happy to announce that our Intensive Summer Greek program, which has now been running for over forty years, has returned to its in-person modality and is open to all who wish to enroll. Our textbook, Gareth Morgan’s Lexis, uses a hybrid linguistic-reading approach to teach how the Greek language works at a fundamental level, rather than simply asking students to memorize lists and charts. By the tenth day of instruction we will be reading unadapted passages of Herodotus, and by the end of the summer we will have read a full speech of Lysias, Plato’s Apology, a play of Euripides, and a book of the Odyssey.
Class meets on the UT Austin campus from 8:30-2:30, five days per week, for ten weeks starting from 1 June. The course counts for twelve semester credit hours; the norm is for students to advance to intermediate (third-semester) Greek courses in the following term, but especially successful students have been known to advance directly to more advanced courses with a written recommendation from the course instructor.
Undergraduates looking to get caught up on their Greek, graduate students (in Classics as well as any other discipline) who need a reading knowledge of the language, or anybody interested in learning Greek by an innovative and unique method are encouraged to enroll. The deadline for non-UT Austin students to apply for summer enrollment is 1 May.
For information about the program, including tuition costs and instructions on enrolling at UT Austin as a transient student, visit https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/classics/courses-in-classics/summer.html
