LEARN LATIN THIS SUMMER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA!

- 2 years of college-level Latin in just 9 weeks
- No previous knowledge of Latin necessary

- 12 UVa credit hours or no-credit option

- Housing available in the Monroe Language House

The Department of Classics at the University of Virginia will again offer
Latin as one of the University's eight Summer Language Institutes. The Latin
Institute will run from June 14 to August 13; it is a highly intensive
program that will prepare diligent students to read at an intermediate to
advanced college level after successful completion of the nine-week program.
No previous knowledge of Latin is required.

The Institute begins with the fundamentals of Latin grammar, including
elementary readings and composition. Thereafter students read extensively
from prose and verse authors at the intermediate level, in addition to
completing more advanced exercises in prose composition and metrics. A
dedicated faculty of five instructors provides six hours of formal
instruction each day and supplementary tutoring sessions each evening.

Many participants in previous sessions of the Latin Institute have benefited
greatly from this experience. In the past we have hosted undergraduates from
numerous institutions in the U.S. and abroad who have applied credit earned
at the Institute toward degrees in Classics and other related disciplines.
Many graduate students from various fields, including History, Religious
Studies, Art History, Philosophy, Medieval Studies, Romance Languages, and
English, have completed our intensive program and continue to use Latin to
further their educational and research objectives. The following is a
sampling of comments made by students from past Latin Institutes:

"The Latin Institute has instructors with creative and energetic approaches
to language study."

"The structure was most effective...the whole process was very rewarding."

"I learned a tremendous amount of Latin in a very short period of time."

"The student has been given a thorough base from which to continue study."

"Chalk me up as another Summer Institute success story. I just passed the
English Department's PhD Latin exam....I want to thank you all for making
the Institute

such a valuable experience."

The deadline for applications is April 15, 2004. Students can earn 12 credit
hours through UVa, or they may choose a non-credit option, which reduces the
tuition for graduate students and non-Virginia residents. For more
information please contact Brian C. Marinas, Director of the Summer Latin
Institute, bcm6e@virginia.edu; Blair Brown, Office of the Summer Language
Institute, uvasli@virginia.edu; or visit www.virginia.edu/summer/SLI/.

The American Academy in Rome: Summer Program in Archaeology
 
SUMMER PROGRAM IN ARCHAEOLOGY
7 June – 23 July 2004

The Summer Program in Archaeology was conceived in 1991 to give graduate students in all areas of Classical studies an overview of current developments in archaeological method and theory, focusing on ancient Italy and the ancient Mediterranean world.

The seven-week course teaches selected participants the objectives and methods of archaeology through instruction and hands-on experience in active archaeological research.

The program is divided into two parts: three weeks in residence at the American Academy for lectures and the opportunity to study the monuments and sources offered by Rome itself, and four weeks on-site at an archaeological excavation.
 
ELIGIBILITY
The program is open to graduate students in archaeology, Classics, and art history, though qualified advanced undergraduate students may also be considered.

COSTS AND LOGISTICS
A fee of $2,500, which covers tuition, partial room and board, and travel within Italy, must be paid to the Academy's office in New York by 15 May 2004. This amount does not cover the cost of transportation to and from Italy. Participants should be prepared to pay for additional meals, any travel not directly related to the program and other personal expenses such as laundry.

Participants will be accommodated in the newly renovated building at Via Masina 5b adjoining the main Academy building, with multi-room apartments. Participants will be housed in double rooms with shared baths. Applicants should note that there is no air conditioning either at the Academy or in most public buildings in Rome. Lunch and dinner are provided at the Academy Monday through Saturday. Each participant will receive a bill itemizing charges for phone calls and other incidental expenses.
 
SCHOLARSHIPS
Students are encouraged to obtain support from their university or department. Additional financial assistance from the Academy is available to qualified participants in the program. If such assistance is requested, please submit copies of any financial award letters for the most recent academic year. In determining scholarship amounts, preference will be given to those students enrolled at colleges and universities that are Institutional Members of the American Academy in Rome.

HOW TO APPLY
A complete application consists of a cover letter explaining why the program is of interest, a curriculum vitae and two sealed letters of recommendation.
