Study-Abroad Opportunities for Students in the Classics

Majors or minors in the Classics can (with the help of the faculty) easily complete their program in the Classics at Loyola while studying for a semester or a year abroad. Below are some programs of special interest to Classicists. Recently Classics majors have studied in Athens, Greece, Rome, Italy, Leuven, Belgium, Newcastle, UK, and Australia.

Academic Year Programs (one or two semesters):

• Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Leuven, Belgium
• The University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Newcastle, UK
• The Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome in Rome, Italy
• College Year in Athens in Athens, Greece

Summer Programs:

• The American School of Classical Studies in Athens

Scholarships:

Each year the National Office of Eta Sigma Phi, the National Classics Honor Society offers one scholarship to an Eta Sigma Phi member for the American Academy summer program, one for the summer program of the American School in Athens, and one scholarship for a summer program of the Vergilian Society. The scholarships to the Academy and the American School are availble to students in the summer after graduation and for several subsequent summers. The scholarship to the Vergilian Society, however, is designed primarily for rising Juniors or Seniors. Visit the Eta Sigma Phi Webpage for further information about these scholarships. Any student interested in these programs is encouraged to contact a member of the department for help, advice, encouragement and fun anecdotes.
