College Year in Athens (CYA)

College Year in Athens (CYA)

At CYA and Athens in general, students will walk–literally and figuratively–in the footsteps of some of the deepest thinkers in human history. In addition to offering diverse and exciting courses, CYA encourages students to become involved in extracurricular activities and explore on their own during weekends. Students are engaged academically but, beyond that, CYA helps them grow as global citizens and leaders.

Many CYA students participate in volunteer and internship opportunities at organizations around Athens, including working with refugees, English as a second language, and helping Aegean marine life. The CYA curriculum includes exciting courses (Fall, Spring, Winter, Summer) in a wide range of academic disciplines, focusing on European and East Mediterranean Area Studies, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, and Ancient Greek Studies. Courses are taught in English, though language courses are offered. View our Brochure 2021-2022 and the CYA Blog or visit us at cyathens.org for more information.
