Studying Classics Abroad

The Department of Classical Studies encourages majors to study abroad in their junior year; there is no better way to understand the totality of antiquity. The department supports the following programs in Greece and Italy. The costs of attending these programs are comparable to those for a semester at Duke, and financial assistance is available. All courses are taught in English, and courses in classical studies, Greek, and Latin count toward the departmental majors. In addition, all programs take numerous field trips to the ancient sites and museums. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, José González.
