Greece's Premier Study Abroad Program

Discover College Year in Athens, Greece's premier study abroad program.

Founded in 1962, CYA offers a diverse curriculum with over 80 courses throughout the year. We welcome nearly 1,000 U.S. students annually, providing academic excellence and immersive experiences. Our faculty-led trips explore Greece's rich history, from the Peloponnese to Delphi and beyond.

We believe in making education accessible and offer need-based scholarships and financial aid to encourage intellectual curiosity. Studying abroad transforms individuals into global citizens, and our mission is to provide each student with academically rigorous studies while immersing them in the vibrant culture of Greece – its people, monuments, and landscapes.

For students of Greek background, CYA is a unique opportunity to study in Greece, learn the language, and discover their roots. Over the years, CYA has nurtured philhellenes – passionate friends of Greece. Out of our 11,000+ alumni, over 300 are academic professionals actively promoting Hellenism.

Through cultural exchange, we foster global citizenship, diversity, and inclusivity, embracing the Greek spirit of hospitality to welcome students from all backgrounds. At CYA, we create a nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and cared for.
