The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Hellenic American University announce their partnership with a mission to facilitate educational opportunities in the U.S. and Greece.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on March 22nd, 2023, outlining the common scope that includes the support of a Greek language initiative, Hellas Alive, and the development of study abroad, civic engagement, faculty, and student exchange opportunities. More specifically, the study abroad programs include semester or term options and customized faculty-led programs focused on several aspects of the Greek culture, religion, and heritage.
Hellenic American University is a non-profit institution of Higher Education chartered in the State of New Hampshire by Act of Legislature in 2004 and it is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).
