AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME: CLASSICAL SUMMER SCHOOL
Open to high school teachers and graduate students of Latin, ancient history, and the classics, the American Academy in Rome's Classical Summer School is designed to provide the student with a well-founded understanding of the growth and development of the ancient city of Rome and its immediate environs from the earliest times to the age of Constantine, through a careful study of material remains and literary sources. The daily visits to the sites and museums will be preceded and accompanied by lectures intended to offer an introduction to the material and to place it within its context. Besides frequent excursions within Rome, the group takes field trips to major sites in Latium and Etruria such as Tivoli, Palestrina, Gabii, the Alban Hills, Ostia, Cerveteri, Tarquinia, Cosa, and Veii. Graduate credit is available through the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Summer school tuition is $1,400. Tuition plus fees, room, and board will total approximately $4,000, excluding round-trip airfare and personal expenses.
SCHOLARSHIPS: Scholarships are available, including twelve awards from the Fulbright Commission and a number of awards from regional and state classical associations and the Classical Society of the American Academy in Rome.

Undergraduate credit.
Application deadline: March 15.
Undergraduates majoring in classics, history, or art history are strongly encouraged to consider spending a semester in Rome working toward the Rutgers degree at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome (ICCS) (administered by Duke University). ICCS operates two semesters each academic year, each approximately 15 weeks in length, and provides students with a wonderful opportunity to study ancient history and archaeology, Greek and Latin literature, and ancient art while living in Rome.
THE PROGRAM: The ICCS faculty is chosen from persons teaching classics, history, and art history in colleges and universities in the US/Canada. Normally students receive 4 or 5 course credits (16 to 20 semester hours) for the semester. Students are expected to take four courses. All students take a required comprehensive course entitled "The Ancient City" (equal to two semester courses), which covers Roman archaeology and topography, aspects of social and urban history of Rome, and Roman civilization. Frequent site visits and explorations, intensive museum tours and lectures, and wider-ranging trips based on the professor's area of expertise outside of Rome are included as part of the course. Students choose their remaining two courses from the following: intermediate or advanced Latin, intermediate or advanced Greek, renaissance and baroque art history, and elementary Italian.
THE CENTER: Located in a three-story building on one of the main streets of the Janiculum, the Center is ten minutes by bus from the Piazza Venezia and downtown Rome. The ICCS building contains bedrooms for 36 students, classrooms, a library, offices, dining rooms, and a kitchen. The neighborhood is residential with apartment buildings, small shops, and cafes.
ADMISSION: Applicants must be currently registered undergraduates majoring in either classics, history, or art history (with strong classical interests and background). All applicants should have at least a B average and a background in Roman history is strongly advised.
FINANCIAL AID: Students may continue to receive aid awarded by their home university. Some scholarships are also available. NEW: A scholarship fund to support minority students attending the Intercollegiate Center has been created with the assistance of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. To apply, complete the financial need form that accompanies the ICCS program application.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: For fall semester, March 15; for spring semester, October 15.
