ASCSA ACADEMIC YEAR PROGRAM - REGULAR MEMBERSHIP
Application Deadline: January 15, 2018
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens offers incomparable opportunities and programs for graduate students enrolled in US and Canadian institutions to research, travel, and excavate in Greece. Facilities include two major libraries, a scientific laboratory, extensive archives, two excavation study centers at the Athenian Agora and Corinth, and a residence hall in central Athens providing room and board.
Please note that for the 2018-2019 academic year, the Blegen and Gennadius libraries may be closed for up to six months between January and June for reorganization; members of the School will continue to have access to other facilities of the School and other libraries in Athens.
Eligibility: Students preparing for an advanced degree in classical and ancient Mediterranean studies, post-classical Greek studies or a related field. Well-qualified students with a B.A. will be considered for admission and fellowships, although preference is given to those who have completed at least one year of graduate study.
Program: The Regular Program from early September to June 1. The program requires participation in the School’s fall trips, covering much of the Greek mainland. During the winter, topography sessions, museum visits, and seminars in Athens are required, with some additional trips. In the spring members normally participate in the School's excavations at Corinth and have time for independent research and optional trips. Regular Members are expected to be in residence at the School throughout the academic year.
