These sessions are designed for students who wish to complement their training in the language and literature of ancient Greece with an introduction to the country and its monuments. Housing and meals for participants are provided by the School. Enrollment in each session is limited to twenty students. Students interested in this program should consult with the head of the Classics section. Six semesters of Greek, History 311, and a grade point average of 3.50 or higher are required.
Admission is highly competitive, as both professors as well as students apply.
Each session is divided almost equally between the study of sites, monuments and museums in Attica and trips to places chosen by the director in Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Macedonia, Northwest Greece, and the Islands. Participants are required to prepare reports on assigned topics. Students must consult with the Chair of the Department. This program is available in the summer only. Ample time is allowed for students to pursue their own interests.
