Visiting and studying ancient sites and monuments is an important part of the study of antiquity. Opportunities to climb the steps of the Parthenon on the Athenian acropolis and experience the vast interior of the dome of the Pantheon in Rome while earning college credit are priceless.

���� Classics strongly encourages students to spend time studying in Italy or Greece. Whether you are interested in language, literature, history, philosophy, or material culture, study of the ancient cultures overseas will add depth to your experience of classical studies. Financial support is available to majors through the generosity of Classics alumna Ann Nichols.
