A Guide to Studying Archaeology Abroad

Why Study Archaeology Abroad

Archaeology is the study of how humans lived, from the far reaches of the globe to the land you’re currently standing on. There are few better subjects to study abroad than archaeology, a subject that is both world renowned and present in nearly every country. Archaeological sites span the globe, giving students the chance to investigate how people used the land, tools, and resources around them in the past.

From archaeological museums to former dig sites or ongoing projects, studying archaeology abroad will expose you to resources that will enrich your education in ways that are not possible domestically. Additionally, because archaeology is an elite field with limited and competitive job opportunities, studying abroad can set you apart from other applicants by demonstrating your passion for travel and dedication to the field.

College Year in Athens (CYA) Semester Abroad Experience

December 11, 2025by: Lily Simolon - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Greece with CYA (Semester/Academic Year)
10

I had a great study abroad experience through CYA. The program offers a great mix of academics, cultural immersion, social events, and incorporated travel into the semester. One of the main highlights from my time in Greece is the CYA Field Studies. These field studies are trips across Greece and abroad, in which transportation and housing are covered by CYA, and are centered around different academic topics. A couple of the trips that I got to go on included journeys to Olympia and Delphi, the island of Crete, the Peloponnese, and Naples, Italy. These trips guided by CYA professor provided me a greater understanding of Greek culture and history, while also providing a great opportunity to connect with fellow classmates and form new friendships. Additionally, the location of CYA academic buildings and student apartments are in a great neighborhood. With all housing between 3-10 minutes away from classroom buildings, the area is very safe and easy to walk around. Furthermore, the academic building is directly adjacent to the Olympic Stadium! Overall my experience CYA was beyond what I could have imagined and would recommend this program to anyone interested in immersing oneself in a new culture and explore the beauty and history of Greece.
