In unusual cases, some requirements may be waived or replaced by other courses. Students are required to plan their programs in consultation with a member of the department and to file a concentration form with the department. Semester Abroad Majors in both Classics and Classical Civilization are encouraged to spend a semester, usually in the junior year, at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome or the College Year in Athens . The Center provides regular college credit and the opportunity to study firsthand the monuments and culture of ancient and modern Italy. College Year in Athens offers either a full year or one semester of study in ancient through modern Greek language, art, and archeology.
Applications are on a rolling admissions basis.
Credit for these programs is available through the department, but must be arranged and approved in advance. All majors are eligible for participation in Wesleyan archaeological excavations .
