 Dear Colleagues,

A kind reminder that we are still accepting applications on a rolling basis
for the NYU Summer in Athens Program 2016, held this year June 18th through
July 30th. NYU in Athens is a six-week summer study abroad program,
designed for both undergraduate and graduate students from all U.S.
Universities. Students can take up to 8 transferable credits and fully
immerse themselves in the culture, society, and history of Greece and the
Mediterranean. We are very happy to offer university students the
opportunity to be a part of the rapid developments that are undeniably
shaping the current sociopolitical landscape of Europe. Now, more than
ever, there is rich opportunity for study.

Courses include The City of Athens, Greek Drama, and the Archaeology of
Greece, all of which are taught in English, with Modern Greek language
courses at the Elementary and Intermediate level available, as well. The
program is open to students of any background including students of
anthropology, archaeology, politics, history, comparative literature,
philosophy, photography, journalism, classics, economics, visual arts,
theater and Hellenic Studies. Approaching modern Hellenic society and
culture from an interdisciplinary perspective, the program provides
students with an appreciation of the history of modern Greek language and
literature and an understanding of how the Greeks have borne their
classical, Byzantine, and Ottoman historical and political experiences,
even as they translate them into the modern era. Students participate in
site visits of archaeological sites and museums including Mycenae and
Delphi, as well as cultural activities, concerts, Greek tragedies performed
in ancient theaters, and dance performances, under the auspices of the
Greek Ministry of Culture. Program trip highlights include excursions to
the magnificent islands of Crete and Santorini.

Program costs include housing, where students stay at the five star
boutique hotel, St. George Lycabettus, in the beautiful Athenian
neighborhood of Kolonaki. Courses are held at the Al Andar center. The
surrounding neighborhood is active, with many cafes, restaurants, cinemas,
stores, and opportunities to enjoy one of the most vibrant cities in the
world.

*The program is filling quickly so please encourage your students to Apply
Now! Rolling applications will continue until April 15th, and beyond that
only if spots remain available. *
