They do online courses (very well taught too!)

If anyone is interested in a six-credit online courses in Old English or Latin, see this for information: http://theruminate.blogspot.com/2012/03/summer-latin-and-old-english.html

(shameless name-drop) Larry Swain, the instructor, is a good guy and I'm sure these are quality courses. Also, knowing Larry, if you apply yourself he'll bend over backwards for you, if you try to coast, he'll forget you're alive.
