Skidmore College Department of Classics

Students interested in summer study have two types of programs available to them: study in residence in the U.S. and study-travel in Greece, Italy, Turkey or Israel. The summer study programs typically offer ancient Greek, classical Latin and medieval Latin; occasionally they offer courses in classical civilization as well.
