Honors Program Greece Trip
Exploring a Proud Culture
“
I saw respect for the past in a modern city. I learned course material by walking through ancient ruins and having them reconstructed in my mind by the amazing descriptions of archeologists from the Arcadia center in Athens. Not only did I get to learn more about modern Greek culture, I got to experience the absolute respect that the Greek people hold for their past.”
A special course is offered that includes orientation classes in the Fall semester and an intensive study and travel in Greece over winter break. Coursework concludes in the Spring semester. This course is offered every three years.
