Classical Studies offers rich opportunities for students who wish to participate in scholarly research, both at the advanced undergraduate and the graduate level. Besides their individual research agenda, many of our faculty members are involved in continuing international research collaborations and editorials that provide additional training opportunities for students who excell in the classroom. Among other cooperations, we are an institutional member of the Canadian Institute in Greece, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and the American Philological Association. The academic resources of both institutions are open to our students during research trips to Greece.
