The American School of Classical Studies at Athens is one of America’s most distinguished teaching institutions devoted to advanced study and research in the history and civilization of the Greek world. The ASCSA provides graduate students a unique opportunity to study firsthand the sites and monuments of Greece, and is also a superb resource for senior scholars pursuing research in fields ranging from antiquity to modern Greece, thanks to its two internationally renowned libraries, the Blegen, dedicated to classical antiquity, and the Gennadius, which concentrates on the Greek world after the end of antiquity.  This section describes the types of membership needed to gain entry to the School’s programs and facilities.
