Learning and artistic expression often demand a range of experience beyond routine and predictable structure. The Semester Abroad Program encourages its participants to work at their own pace and express their ideas and opinions in an open and unselfconscious way. <BR> A Full Semester Student may design a program tailored to his/her specific artistic or academic ambitions. You may concentrate in either a single discipline or a schedule across the curriculum. In every case, you will be able to work in small groups and often individually with teachers and artists who are able to devote their full attention to your creative and intellectual development. <A HREF="faculty.html">(Click to see our core and contributing faculty)</A><br> <BR> Field Trips and Excursions are an important part of HISA's vision of integrating academic and experiential learning. Just some of the marvelous places you will wander through as part of our program: Delos, the sacred island of Apollo; Naxos, home to the god Dionysos; Antiparos, with its famous stalactite cave; and Mykonos, with its windmills and jet-set nightlife. An optional teacher-led 8-day excursion to Turkey is now a permanent feature of HISA: the Aegean Study Abroad imperative. <a href="basic_information.html">(Click to Visit Our World!)</a> </TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE WIDTH="700" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" ALIGN="CENTER"> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="15"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <TABLE WIDTH="700" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" HEIGHT="62"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="28" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="MIDDLE"> </TD> <TD ROWSPAN="3" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="7" HEIGHT="58"><IMG SRC="graphics/logo3.gif" WIDTH="69" HEIGHT="58" ALT="Hellenic International Studies in the Arts"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="6" HEIGHT="58"></TD> <TD WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="28" ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="MIDDLE"><A HREF="index2.html" TARGET="_top" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('home','','graphics/home1b.gif',1)"><IMG SRC="graphics/home1a.gif" WIDTH="60" HEIGHT="14" BORDER="0" NAME="home"></A></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="309"><IMG SRC="graphics/line.gif" WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="1"></TD> <TD WIDTH="309"><IMG SRC="graphics/line.gif" WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="1"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="33" VALIGN="BOTTOM" ALIGN="LEFT"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="309" HEIGHT="33" ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="BOTTOM"> <b><FONT FACE="Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="2"> <A HREF="summer.html">Summer Session<br> </A> <a href="forms/registration_semester.html">Application Form</a></FONT></b></TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="4"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="15"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD class="textMed"><B> FALL: September 10 - December 4, 2003<br> SPRING: March 6 - June 1, 2004<BR> Cost: $7,150</B> (regular: HISA transcript) <br> <b>Cost: $7,800 </b>(with MassArt transcript, 12 fully transferable credits)<br> <SPAN CLASS="text"> <i>( including lovely private accommodation, all inter-island boat travel, museum and site fees, <br> basic texts and art and photographic supplies, and HISA's festive dinners )</i></SPAN></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><img src="graphics/spacer.gif" width="700" height="20"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD class="textMed"><B>THE PROGRAM OF STUDY:</B></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="5"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD bgcolor="#4E7494"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="1"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD bgcolor="#000000"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="1"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="15"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <TABLE WIDTH="700" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <TR> <TD class="textMed"><B>LITERATURE</B></TD> <TD align="right" class="textMed">4 Credits</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD colspan="2" align="center"> <TABLE WIDTH="680" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <TR ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <TD colspan="3"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10"></TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <TD WIDTH="250"><IMG SRC="graphics/semester/demeter.jpg" alt="Literature" WIDTH="250" HEIGHT="181"></TD> <TD WIDTH="16"><IMG SRC="graphics/spacer.gif" WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15"></TD> <TD WIDTH="414" align="left" valign="middle" CLASS="textMed"><b>Small group and individual tutorials allow students to concentrate on archetypal themes and patterns in core and individually selected texts.</b> From the rite of passage in Homer to the ironic reversal in modern literature, students will develop an ability to link different works across borders of time, language and genre.
