Summer Intensive Language Program

Summer Intensive Language Program

Learn ancient Greek and Latin over the summer at one of Canada's premier universities. McGill is located in the heart of Montreal, a multilingual, culturally diverse, and dynamic city. Through the McGill Summer Language Institute, the Classics program offers intensive first-year Ancient Greek and intensive first-year Latin. Students may register in one or both courses. Those who complete both will have the equivalent of two years of ancient languages in just twelve weeks, and will be ready to enter intermediate level courses in the Fall term.

The Intensive Ancient Greek and Latin Summer language program is ideal for students entering university who wish to get a head start on an undergraduate program that requires knowledge of Greek and/or Latin—such as classics (especially an honours program), Religious Studies, Medieval Studies, etc.—and for more advanced students who plan to apply to graduate school in fields related to classics (e.g. ancient Greek and Roman history, art history of ancient Greece and Rome, classical archaeology, early Christianity, ancient philosophy, political theory, etc.) but have not yet started to learn ancient languages.

  • CLAS 215 Intensive Introductory Latin (6 credits)
