Please review the CGPS COVID-19 Updates page before applying to a study abroad program.
All applicants must have a valid passport by the program’s application deadline. Your passport’s expiration date must be more than six months after the program ends. If you do not have a current passport, apply through the U.S. State Department. It takes an average of 10-13 (3-4 months) to process a passport.
Traveling and studying abroad during a global pandemic poses new challenges and requires accepting a higher level of uncertainty than in the past. Students who choose to study abroad at this time must be prepared to adapt to the evolving situation and must take responsibility to act in accordance with the rules, regulations, and recommendations of UD, their program leadership, and legal authorities of their home and host country. Due to the rapidly changing and unpredictable global and local response to COVID-19, these rules, regulations and recommendations are subject to change at any time.
The University will continue to monitor the ongoing situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) as we approach the departure date for this program. Please reach out to your program coordinator or faculty director with questions and continue to monitor the UD coronavirus webpage for updates. If UD decides to cancel a study abroad program, we will communicate directly with affected students. |

Make your home in the place where modern education, democracy, and Western civilization began. Walk in the steps of ancient philosophers and travel to sites of classical antiquity that you may have only seen in books or movies. Spend a semester studying in Athens at the University of Delaware's partner, the American College of Greece (ACG). Founded in 1875, ACG is the oldest American-accredited college in Europe and the largest private college in Greece. Located in the Athens metropolitan neighborhood of Aghia Paraskevi, ACG's 64-acre campus overlooks the capital city. ACG is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education in the U.S. and boasts top faculty and scholars from across the globe and an international student body representing 58 countries.
ACG on-campus facilities and resources include a simulated trading room, fully online library, computer labs, both a black box theatre and outdoor amphitheatre, as well as an Olympic-sized swimming pool and indoor athletic arena. ACG's status as a full-fledged secondary educational institution means that it offers the services and amenities to support a successful semester, including counseling, career services, health services, a writing center, and more. In addition, UD students in Athens may choose to participate in student clubs, music, theatre, intramural sports, and Intercollegiate athletics such as basketball, rugby, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and water polo.
ACG courses are taught in English except for foreign language courses. Some of the courses include out-of-class experiences around Athens (which may require an additional fee) to take advantage of the city’s historic and artistic treasures.

The university provides extensive off-campus activities, including community outreach opportunities, field trips, service-oriented clubs, and a 3-day "Meaningful Engagement Trip" to another region of Greece (at an additional cost and via competitive application), all designed to facilitate intercultural understanding and respect through true cultural and linguistic immersion experiences.
Students will live in double-occupancy apartment-style residence halls with kitchens, laundry, fitness facilities and just a short walk from campus. Students may choose to purchase a campus dining plan and/or opt for single accommodation for an additional fee (availability not guaranteed).
