Description: Located in the greatest classical Greek city outside of Athens, the Mediterranean Center for the Arts and Sciences welcomes students to discover the largest island of the Mediterranean through its history, art, culture and legends. If the Mediterranean was once the stage of the ancient world, then for centuries Sicily and its powerful city Syracuse was its protagonist. Semester and summer programs in Syracuse, include courses taught in English in the Arts, Sciences and Humanities. Course credit comes from Fairfield University. The program includes field studies and tours.

Highlights: The academic program is composed of three integral parts: Arts, Sciences and Humanities. The common theme in all courses is a focus on the Mediterranean world: its special history, natural wonders, light and people and their great influence on the world, both western and eastern. Excursions are an integral part of the program, leading students to explore the Mediterranean's unique environment: volcanic islands, beautiful coastlines, classical sites, small towns and modern cities that span across two millennia.
