Odyssey
in Athens is a unique study aboard program hosted
by the University of Indianapolis at its Athens Campus. It is
designed to afford college students a rich cultural experience
in the birthplace of Western civilization while they take
accredited, upper-level courses in their chosen fields of
study. Odyssey students study alongside Greek and other
international students, a feature which distinguishes Odyssey
in Athens from other study abroad programs and facilitates
the process of cultural integration.
Odyssey in Athens is based in the facilities of the University
of Indianapolis, Athens Campus in the heart of downtown
- footsteps away from the Plaka, the old section of Athens
at the base of the Acropolis. Four buildings house classrooms,
a student center, library, computer lab, and administrative
offices.
With its extraordinary artistic, intellectual and cultural
heritage, Athens is richly endowed with resources for formal
study and experiential learning. The museums at the Acropolis
and the ancient Agora, as well as the National Archeological
Museum, the Cycladic Museum, and the Benaki collections
are within minutes of the facilities of the University of
Indianapolis Athens. Cultural events including concerts,
recitals, dance and theatre, as well as international trade
shows, conferences and symposia, public lectures, gallery
exhibits, sports events and marathons, are an integral part
of life in this bustling, cosmopolitan city at the confluence
of Europe, Asia and Africa.
