Admissions
Eligibility: Applicants must be currently registered undergraduates majoring in classics, classical history, archaeology, or art history majors with strong classical interests and background. All applicants should have at least a B average and a background in Roman History is strongly advised. Priority for spaces goes to students who are undergraduates at one of the ICCS member colleges or universities. When space permits, qualified and currently registered undergraduate students from non-member institutions may be accepted at an additional fee.
The program is strenuous. There is extensive walking and some climbing. Our experience has been that participants must be in good physical condition to be able to participate successfully. Therefore, we ask that you consider your general health, physical abilities, or stamina (including problems with diet and medication)before applying to this program.
