Dr. Henderson and Dr. Meloche

Join the faculty of the Alcuin Institute as we read, ponder, and discuss the great works of the Catholic literary tradition! From Homer to Dante, immerse yourself in the transfixing and transforming prose of the greatest poets of antiquity. These texts shaped Christendom, allow them to shape you!

Courses

Through an accelerated/intensive two (2) week course, students will read, study, and discuss the primary literary texts that shaped much of the Western thought and practice.  Taught by expert tutors of the Alcuin Institute and accredited through Newman University, students will earn university credit hours, while encountering the beauty and transformative power of the Catholic literary tradition.
