This program is especially designed for students interested in learning about the origin of European culture, which strongly influences our American society today. The Athens program offers an opportunity to explore those origins with the support and guidance of a strong academic focus.
Students also attend an on-site orientation upon arrival in Athens.
Athens is characterized by its modern, metropolitan environment as well as its nearby beaches. The city is dominated by the Acropolis, the hill on which the 2,400 year-old Parthenon, one of the world's most renowned classical monuments, still stands. The Mediterranean climate provides mostly warm, sunny days and cool evenings in Athens. Students can prepare breakfast and simple meals in their apartments. Furniture, linens, and dishes are provided by the Athens Centre.
