The Department encourages students to study abroad, usually in their junior year. The University supports the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome and the College Year in Athens, and regularly sends two or three students to these programs for a term or a year. Students that wish to apply should visit the website of the Study Abroad Office and follow the application instructions. Others participate in the summer school of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, take jobs on archaeological digs in Europe or the Middle East, or find other ways to visit classical lands. Student participation in archaeological fieldwork, usually excavation, is strongly encouraged as an important aspect of Classical Studies training. Some financial aid is available for study travel.
