CUNY Latin/Greek Institute

The CUNY Latin/Greek Institute was established by Brooklyn College, a senior college of the City University of New York, in 1973. It was initially called the Latin Institute, until the introduction of Ancient Greek precipitated a name change to the Latin / Greek Institute. The Institute is commonly referenced by its initials, LGI.

The basic programs of the LGI teach the equivalent of 5-6 semesters of college Latin or Greek in 50 days of highly intensive and choreographed study. Both basic programs are taught in-person every summer at the CUNY Graduate Center, along with one upper-level program in either Latin or Greek. Since the COVID pandemic, the upper-level programs have been taught online. Graduates of the LGI return to their home institutions able to engage advanced reading courses in Latin or Greek and/or sit for graduate language exams.

As of 2024, the LGI has graduated almost 3,000 students across all of its programs.
