Summer online ancient language courses from the Catholic University of America

[Nathan Tilley]

Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),

I'm happy to share with you the ancient language course offerings from Catholic University of America for summer 2026. There is a full menu of live, online, intensive courses in ancient languages, from the elementary through the advanced levels. We will be offering Syriac, Coptic, Classical Armenian, Old Georgian, Intensive Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Greek, and Latin.

Tuition is $580/credit hour, and sections are purposely kept small to guarantee close interaction and support. Each course carries either 3 or 6 credit hours and is charged accordingly ($1740 or $3480). 6 credit hour courses are the equivalent of one academic year of study.

Additional information is available on our Summer Program website (https://ancient-medieval.catholic.edu/academics/summer/index.html) and the flyer here (click), which includes the full schedule with dates. Please feel free to circulate it widely. A text-only version of the flyer's contents can also be found below. For those with questions, feel free to reach out to me or to cua-ancien...@cua.edu. 

Thank you very much for your consideration. We look forward to welcoming you or your students, colleagues, and contacts into our courses this summer!

With best wishes,

Nathan Tilley
