Although you could increase your language experience with the Penn Post-Bac program, you would not be able to fully participate in the program because the pre-requisites for the Post-Bac seminars are 2 years (that is, 4 semesters, or the equivalent level attained through intensive programs) of study. Furthermore, if you are hoping to use the Penn Post-Bac program as a springboard into a graduate program (as most of our Post-Bacs do), starting our program with less than intermediate levels will probably not be enough to succeed in graduate admissions; most graduate programs look for candidates with at least 3 years of study in each language. You'd be better served by the program if you took a year or so to get your languages up to speed before applying to our program. Other options include spending two years in the Penn Post-Bac program, or else starting your language study before the fall semester begins; Penn offers intensive summer study options, as mentioned in #2 above. Please visit our Summer at Penn for course information and application details. In addition, many other colleges and universities offer courses in the ancient languages for which most people are eligible as "continuing education" students.
