The Classics Department College Year in Athens offers a semester or year long study program based in Athens, Greece. There are two tracks of study, Ancient Greek Civilization and East Mediterranean Area Studies, each of which can be taken at three different levels, depending on preparation. The courses involve the disciplines of Classical Languages as well as Art History, History, Philosophy, Literature, Political Science, etc. Students need not be Classics majors to attend. Students live in furnished apartments in the attractive Kolonaki area of Athens, and have the incomparable sites of Athens and Greece as their classroom. College Year in Athens is not a Loyola program, so students cannot take their financial aid to the program, but some financial aid is available. In addition, students wishing to study at CYA will have to petition the study abroad department for its approval. Students interested in CYA should contact a Classics faculty member for advice and help with the petition process. The petition process is worthwhile: in the Fall of 2005 the first student from Loyola will be enrolled in the program. College Year in Athens also offers several different eight-week long summer sessions on various topics including (in past years) The Art and Archaeogy of Athens, Atlantis, The Catastrophe of Thera, Modern Greek, as well as an Academic Study Tour.
