Summer Institute

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.

2018 TUITION for undergraduates and special students is $500 per credit or $1500 per 3-credit course; Graduate and IPS students should contact the Graduate School at (972) 721-5106 or the Registrar at (972) 721-5221; http://www.udallas.edu/registrar/index.cfm.
