Italy and Greece: Rhetoric, Architecture, and Food
Priority Deadline: 1 November 2026
Application Deadline: 1 December 2026
ITALY AND GREECE
STUDY ABROAD GENERAL EDUCATION (SAGE)
From the ancient city to the kitchen, “Rhetoric, Architecture, and Food” investigates how the preparation of meals, the production of public spaces, and the art of persuasion all helped to shape the classical world. Study during your spring term in Athens and Rome, with on-site lectures that give plenty of time to savor the city without the summertime press of tourists. Good itineraries to Greece and Italy normally hit the highlights, but this exceptional program allows time for exploring and visiting (and revisiting) well beyond the trodden paths—and without the noisy crowds. Did we mention the architecture, the pasta . . . the gelato?
The academic goals of this program focus on General Education curriculum, drawing on the incredible breadth of the Greco-Roman classroom. We will start in Athens, travel through the island of Santorini, Sicily, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Florence, and end the semester in Venice. Enjoy Europe’s springtime—without the oppressive heat and crowds that fill the city and its museums later in the year.
