Our program boasts an extensive range of academically outstanding courses and unique learning opportunities. Spanning a wide range of disciplines from ancient to contemporary studies, the curriculum is enriched by hands-on learning opportunities and on-site classes. We are dedicated to fostering an engagement with Greece which encourages personal discovery, growth, and cross-cultural sensitivity. Our ultimate goal is for you to return home academically inspired, intellectually stimulated, and with a passionate commitment to the furtherance of international and intercultural understanding.
We place emphasis on learning beyond the classroom, offering you a hands-on learning experience in the rich and diverse environment of Greece. Many classes are held on-site adding a new dimension to learning and a global understanding of your subjects. A significant portion of the semester is also devoted to field study, designed to both supplement classroom material and give you a deeper understanding of Greece.
