EDUCATION ABROAD IN CLASSICS F o r C l a s s i c s m a j o r o r m i n o r c o u r s e a p p r o v a l s , c o n t a c t : Anthony Corbeill | [email protected] | 434-924-3008 C o c k e H a l l B 0 04 BENEFITS OF AN INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE The modern-day study of antiquity has always transcended national boundaries. Classics majors studying abroad can benefit from new perspectives on the languages and cultures of Greece and Rome, while the literature and history of these societies can take on new meaning when studied in their original settings. Students who have taken part in these programs report that the experience enriched them academically and also made them more attractive to potential employers. ACADEMIC & TIMING CONSIDERATIONS Students wishing to study abroad must have a GPA of 2.5 (or higher for some programs). Depending on the program, you may receive either direct or transfer credit for completed courses. The Department of Classics and the International Studies Office recommend planning for your international experience as early as your first year; we encourage you to meet with an education abroad advisor, as well as the Director of Undergraduate Study. Classics majors should consider how study abroad can best be integrated with the Greek and Latin language sequences.
