DESCRIPTION
Classics 380 - Ancient Greek Civilization & Culture (3-6 hrs.) This
course examines the cultural milestones of Greek civilization and its
remains that have survived for over 2500 years. Students will be provided
with a list of background readings that must be completed before departing
for Greece to facilitate their studies and assignments at the various
museums there. Toward the end of the program students will write a paper
synthesizing the information collected along the way.
Classics 385 - Ancient Greek History (3 hrs.) Students get a hands-on experience of the country's history. The archaeological sites and museums we visit represent the most important hot-spots of antiquity, where major events took place. The textbook readings correspond to museum assignments for which students are asked to associate certain artifacts with historic events and place them in their socio-political context.
