The Institute offers intensive, total-immersion programs in ancient languages during the summer that enable serious, highly motivated high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to cover the material normally included in several semesters of conventional work in a single summer. All programs are team-taught by experienced instructors.
Admission is by application only.
The Institute is held at the City University Graduate Center on Fifth Avenue at 34th St. in midtown Manhattan. The Center is easily accessible by all major means of public transportation. The work of the Institute is extremely demanding, with the equivalent of one week's material in a normal college setting covered each day. Quizzes are given daily. There are substantial nightly assignments, and there are weekly examinations.
