University Programs at the Athens Centre
Living and studying abroad has
become an integral part of a college education. An awareness of other
cultures, the experience of changing one's lifestyle by living in a
different country, are essential elements for a well- rounded education.
The Centre organizes semester programs
in Greece with
colleges and universities from the United States and Canada. The programs emphasize
courses in classical, Byzantine and modern Greece. The Centre
provides Greek language and civilization programs, guest speakers, and contacts with
Greece and things Greek. Academic Credit for the programs comes from the host
academic institutions.
University programs of shorter duration
take place throughout the year, concentrating on Classical Greek Theatre
and topics concerning Greece and the Mediterranean area.
