How does a semester or year of OCS help students in classics prepare for graduate school or various career opportunities?
- The primary reason to study abroad is to have direct, on-the-spot access to the physical material remains of the cultures that classicists study: the architecture, topography, archaeological sites, and museums that preserve the remains of the classical world.
- Students are immersed in ancient culture through visiting sites and museums, and studying them with an intensity and depth of focus that can be best accomplished in the student’s native language.
- Studying abroad, especially at ICCS Rome or CYA, enhances graduate school and professional school applications and training.
