American Academy in Rome - Classical Summer School

Classical Summer School
Participant Information
Dates: June 22 – July 31, 2009

Eligibility
Enrollment for the Classical Summer School is normally restricted to either Latin teachers or graduate students in Classics; although other especially qualified applicants will receive serious consideration. Insofar as possible, one half of the places will be reserved for teachers of Classics and ancient history in secondary schools. Graduate students and mature undergraduate students majoring in Classics or classical art or archaeology are encouraged to apply. If the number of applicants is exceptionally high, preference will be given to those teachers and graduate students who have an MA degree.

Costs
Tuition: $1,700
basic room and board: $3,780
TOTAL COSTS: $5,480

Lodging
Students must stay at the IntercollegiateCenter for Classical Studies (ICCS) in Rome. A double occupancy room with half board (weekday meals), full computer and internet access, and a library, costs $90/night. A limited number of single rooms are available at a higher rate ($105/night). Admission is contingent upon the participant's agreeing to stay at ICCS.
