How can course work in the Athens Program be integrated into a students academic program here at home?
Of the 5 courses typically offered in the program, 4 can generally be counted for fulfilling Gen. Ed. and/or B. A. requirements in Humanities. One of them–the Archaeology of Ancient Greece–is cross-listed as an Art History course, so it could also be used to help satisfy the Arts requirement. The specialized courses offered by Penn State faculty are usually cross-listed, too, generally counting as History and CAMS (Classics) classes as well as in the faculty member’s own department. For instance, the two faculty-offered courses in the 2008 program are cross-listed as PHIL (Philosophy) and CAMS (Classics and Mediterranean Studies), Thus, courses offered in the Athens Program can usually be counted toward a combination of General Education, Bachelor of Arts, and Major requirements (depending on a student’s major, naturally). Otherwise, they can be counted as Electives.
