Study Abroad With Classics
Study Abroad Opportunities
One of the most rewarding experiences in the field of Classics is the opportunity to travel to the Mediterranean and study the languages, literatures, and cultures of Ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East abroad! Undergraduate and Graduate students are strongly encouraged to seek out study abroad opportunities in language, literature, and culture courses, as well as archaeological digs, during the fall, spring and summer terms.
There are also other study abroad opportunities provided through Texas Tech University.
In addition, we encourage students to explore the many other options available, such as:
- The American School of Classical Studies in Athens
- The British School in Athens Post-Graduate Courses
- The American Academy in Rome
- College Year in Athens
- ICCS – Rome
- Temple University - Rome Campus
- AIA - Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin
Please contact Carla Burrus, for information and assistance concerning course credit for non-TTU study abroad programs.
For information on study abroad funding, please see the funding page.
