College Year in Athens - Plateia Stadiou 5

CYA courses are rigorous and require serious academic work however we recognize that students come from diverse backgrounds and institutions with varying experience in the subjects they will be studying at CYA. All CYA courses are designed for upper-level undergraduates, and may be taken at two levels — three-hundred level and four-hundred level.

Three-hundred level courses are designed as a first exposure to the subject, and are of general interest and wide in scope. Some three-hundred-level courses, particularly in Ancient Greek Studies, require students have some background in the subject, as indicated in their description. Qualified students can opt to take any three-hundred-level courses at the four-hundred level by formally declaring their intention to do so and completing reading and writing assignments similar in size and scope to those expected in four-hundred-level courses.

Four-hundred level courses are more specialized and academically more demanding. Courses listed as four-hundred-level are seminars on special topics and are reserved for those able to engage in advanced work. We advise you to read the descriptions of all the courses carefully before choosing your CYA academic program to make sure what you select is appropriate for you.

All Three-hundred level courses can be taken at Four-hundred level by completing the required additional coursework equivalent to that of four-hundred-level courses.
