University Programs

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.
