Greek in Greece
This program has been canceled for Spring quarter 2008.
Greek Program Website
This program is designed for intermediate-level students of Classical Greek. Participants can earn either undergraduate or graduate credit.
The first three weeks of the program are devoted to learning elementary Modern Greek in Rhodes. Participants will also have a chance to become acquainted with the major archaeological sites near Athens, including Delphi. The next three weeks take students throughout the Peloponnese and Crete for concentrated study of archaeological sites. The final four weeks are spent on quiet Aegean islands sight-reading long passages of Homer and Plato six to eight hours a day.
