About

Emory’s Department of Classics is pleased to announce the fifth summer of the Classics Gateway. This program provides funding for students with an interest in Classics to attend Emory's Pre-College Summer Program for a two-week residential experience as rising juniors and seniors. The program will feature a course on the Roman city Pompeii (Archaeological Investigation: Pompeii and Herculaneum) during the third session (Session C) of the pre-college program (Sunday July 12-Saturday July 25, 2026).

The program aims to support students traditionally underrepresented in the study of the ancient world and students from Atlanta-area public schools are particularly encouraged to apply. The Classics Gateway strives to expand access to Emory and to foster an interest in Classics for students from all backgrounds.
