Overview View the Classics Summer Institute Course Schedule. For more than 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 late July; some courses are offered in intensive three-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. *Please note: If you wish to take only the Intensive Greek or Latin courses, you may apply to UGA as an undergraduate transient student (more info) and do not need to complete the Summer Institute application. Tuition Tuition rates for summer 2024 are $370 per credit hour plus fees for in-state students and $1050 per credit hour for out-of state students (UGA Tuition Rates per Semester Summer 2023). Latin teachers from outside Georgia receive, upon application, a tuition waiver to reduce tuition to the in-state level.
