changing global society. Because international learning is an essential

Abroad is committed to providing high-quality, academically-sound,

The Arcadia
Center for Hellenic, Balkan and Mediterranean Studies and Research is home to
Arcadia’s programs in
Greece. It offers a broad range of undergraduate classes in modern,
Byzantine and classical Greek studies during both semesters of the academic
year and in the summer. Among its unique features is The Greek Key:
Language in a Cultural Landscape, a six-credit course designed to help
students unlock the door to cross-cultural understanding during a semester
in Athens.
Austin
Peay
State
University (APSU)
(http://www.apsu.edu)
supports a variety of academically rigorous study abroad programs with a
broad base of cultural experiences as a means of preparing students for life
and work around the world. APSU Study Abroad to Greece offers the
opportunity for students to earn seven hours of credit and spend five weeks
in Greece studying the art and archaeology of ancient
Greece
and the language of modern Greece. (http://www.apsu.edu/winterst)
During the program, directed by Dr. Timothy F. Winters (Greece 1986),
students spend two weeks on the island of Crete, then travel to
approximately 40 archaeological sites from all periods of Greek history.
Sites include Knossos,
Mycenae, Corinth, Pylos, Mystra, Delphi, Olympia, and many others.
Participants also hike the Samaria Gorge and pursue other activities in
connection with modern Greek culture. The program is designed to
demonstrate that Greek culture is important not only in the ancient world
but in the modern as well.
The Fulbright Institute of International Relations at the
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville,
is a center for study, research and analysis of foreign policy and
international relations. Recent conferences have focused on democracy in
Russia,
the Clinton administration, and presidential-congressional roles in foreign
policy, and each has resulted in an edited volume. Future studies will
include the changing American South, including the region’s impact on
foreign policy, and democracy and Islam. Further information about the
Institute’s activities is available at
http://www.uark.edu/~fiir. The Institute’s Office of Study Abroad and
International Exchange (http://www.uark.edu/studyabroad)
conducts numerous exchange programs, including the Classics in Greece
Summer Program.
The
United States Educational Foundation in
Greece, established in 1948, administers the Fulbright Program
between the United States of America and Greece. The Fulbright Foundation in
Greece is the oldest Fulbright Program in Europe and the second-oldest
continuously operating Fulbright Program in the world. It is an autonomous,
non-profit, non-partisan, bi-national institution whose governing body is
made up of four Greeks and four Americans representing academia, business,
diplomatic and professional fields and who are appointed by the U.S.
Ambassador, the Honorary Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors
formulates the policies and annual programs of the Foundation to broaden and
strengthen mutual understanding between Greece and the United States by
offering educational and cultural exchange opportunities to Greek and
American students, scholars, researchers, and artists. The Board selects
Fulbright grantees based on their academic excellence, educational
achievement, artistic ability, and personal character. Since 1948, more
than 2,400 Greek and 1,300 American scholars have received grants from the
Fulbright Foundation in Greece.
