The Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome (ICCS) provides an opportunity for students to study ancient history, archaeology, Greek, Latin and ancient art. Students can choose a fall program (September to mid-December) or a spring program (late January to late May). Each semester allows about fifteen weeks of instruction and provides one full semester of academic credit. A major part of the academic work is a required course called The Ancient City, which covers Roman archaeology, aspects of the social and urban history of Rome, and Roman civilization. Frequent site visits and explorations, intensive museum tours and lectures, and wide ranging trips outside Rome are featured in the course. The program is sponsored by Duke University for students enrolled in schools (like Holy Cross) that are members of the ICCS Consortium. This program is available only to Classics majors. Students interested in applying for the program should contact Prof. Brittain Smith, Director of Study Abroad at College of the Holy Cross at bsmith@holycross.edu.
