Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies at Rome and Catania, Sicily

Students in the Classical Studies Department are encouraged to study for a semester at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies, which maintains programs in Rome and in Catania, Sicily.  Courses in Greek and Latin at the intermediate and advanced levels are offered in both of these programs. Students in Rome are required to take at least one ancient language course, but no ancient languages are required in Catania. The centerpiece of the Rome program is the “City Course”, which is an introduction to the history, archaeology, and monuments of the City of Rome in antiquity. In this course students will take weekly field trips to sites and museums in and around Rome plus extended trips to Sicily and the Bay of Naples area. In Catania, students will take the “Island Course,” in which they will visit sites throughout Sicily. They will take an extended field trip to Tunisia as well. For further information about both programs, including scholarships and other courses that are offered, please consult the Duke Overseas Studies website.  After you have done so you may also contact Professor Maas in the History Department (maas@rice.edu ).
