		<description>A few more perspectives on learning Old Norse in North America -- 

Paul Acker teaches Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon at St. Louis University, which has a very strong medieval studies program.    
http://www.slu.edu/x23805.xml

Don&#039;t forget about Harvard either, where Steve Mitchell and Joe Harris both have offered courses in Old Norse in recent years. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~folkmyth/HarrisPage.htm
http://web.me.com/samitch1/Publications/Stephen_Mitchell.html

Marianne Kalinke has indeed retired from the University of Illinois, but I do not know if she continues to teach there. 
http://www.germanic.uiuc.edu/scandinavian/

Old Norse has been taught at the Univ. of Washington too, and the department even has a special scholarship for a graduate student interested in that field. Recent retirements may have brought the Old Norse program on to thin ice, but one hopes the department will soon be back at it.

Thanks for all of the comments, this is indeed a very cool website.

		<description>Adam--

In reply, no I am not at UF. I was originally at Eckerd College and am going to transfer to USF this fall, hopefully.

		<description>I am agog with all the lovely archaic Germanic languages I&#039;ve been just rolling in lately. Second on my list to learn is Middle High German, so I can read the autobiography of Gotz von Berlichingen, the &quot;Lebensbeschreibung des Herrn Gözens von Berlichingen&quot;, which has no English translation that I&#039;ve yet found. Thanks again for all of your helpful comments on graduate programs. :)</description>

		<description>To actually respond to the question and end my shameless plug, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Massachusetts Amherst teach Old Norse, though with the impending (or current?) retirements of, respectively, Marianna Kalinke and James Cathey, I&#039;m not sure if they will continue them. Perhaps they have qualified lecturers or have gained new Scandinavian medievalist faculty.</description>

		<description>Meg, are you at the University of Florida? Furthermore, are you interested in studying abroad?

I did my BA there and spent a year learning Old Norse in Munich at the Institut für nordische Philologie (though of course you could go anywhere else that teaches it), and UF is surprisingly kind when it comes to giving you credit for courses they don&#039;t teach.

If you are interested in Germanic Philology in general, look into the University of Minnesota, already mentioned above. We have Old Norse and Middle High German every year, Old English every other year, and, on no particular schedule, we have Old Saxon, Gothic, Old High German, Middle Dutch, and Old Frisian. We also teach ALL modern Germanic languages (except Faroese, of course), including a rare summer course in Modern Icelandic.</description>

		<description>Thank you all so much for the help! I&#039;m the questing undergrad in question. Alas, I am from Florida, where our Scandinavian studies departments are sadly lacking... perhaps I shall be applying to one of the above schools when I finish my undergraduate degree. 

Again, thank you all so much for the help. :)</description>

		<description>As Paul mentioned, U of Toronto offers the beginning Norse (full-year) class every other year, and usually a second year reading course in the off years, both taught by Ian McDougall.  Andy Orchard has also offered the odd semester course (Sources of Norse Mythology, The Poetic Edda, etc.).

I learned my Norse as an undergrad with Kirsten Wolf in the Scandinavian Studies Dept. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  The course was graduate-level, but open to intrepid youngsters.  If the structure hasn&#039;t changed, it´s two semesters of grammar and reading, and then an additional semester of more advanced reading, together with some introductory paleography.  Kirsten also offers courses on the history of Scandinavian Linguistics, if that&#039;s your thing.  

The course listing is here...http://scandinavian.wisc.edu/courses/index.html  

I&#039;m sure there are some current Wisconsinites following the blog who could add a bit more...</description>
