This Site is an eight-week program offered jointly through the University of Georgia, the University of Northern Colorado, and the Università del Salento that promotes scientific literacy and global engagement among undergraduate students. Undergraduate students are integrated as junior partners of the Bioarchaeology of Mediterranean Colonies Project, a cross-disciplinary, international research program. REU students plan and execute independent research projects exploring biocultural impacts of Greek colonization on Sicilian populations, 7-5th c. BC. Currently, the project focuses on the Greek colony, Himera.

After an orientation at the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia, USA, students travel to Sicily, Italy, for four weeks to collect bioarchaeological data from human skeletons, and then spend four weeks at UGA apprenticed in laboratories collecting and analyzing data.

In Sicily, students travel to local archaeological sites and museums and are immersed in Italian culture. At UGA, participants will live in UGA dormitories with other REU students at UGA, and participate in workshops and seminars, and work with dedicated mentors, receiving hands-on training for research projects.

The program runs from May 15 - July 7, 2017
The application deadline is February 17, 2017

Benefits include:
  • A weekly stipend of $500

Greetings Applicant,

In an effort to increase transparency, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) has approved the following change regarding the AACOMAS Repeat Coursework Policy:

Effective May 1, 2017, AACOMAS will include all course attempts in the GPA calculation. This change applies to students matriculating into the 2018-2019 academic year. In the event of multiple attempts of the same course, AACOMAS will no longer drop initial course attempts from the GPA calculation.

Osteopathic medical schools may continue recalculating and weighing applicant GPAs per their established admissions practices. The scope of this policy change is limited to the AACOMAS verified GPA calculation.

The current AACOMAS Repeat Coursework Policy drops the initial course attempts from the GPA calculation. In the upcoming 2017-2018 AACOMAS application cycle, applicants will continue to identify repeated courses during coursework entry, but they will no longer enter 0.00 credit hours for initial attempts. Credit hours for all attempts will be entered as they appear on the official transcript and all grades will be averaged. The AACOMAS application instructions will be updated in advance of the 2017-2018 application cycle to reflect this change in policy.

Effective May 1, 2017, applicants using the 2017-2018 application cycle Reapplicant feature in AACOMAS for matriculation into the 2018-2019 academic year must adhere to the new policy. Therefore, AACOMAS will automatically update previously verified repeated coursework to ensure all applications adhere to the new policy.

Should you have additional questions, please email AACOMAS Customer Service at aacomasinfo@liaisoncas.com.

This notice can be found on the AACOM website.

Thank you,

AACOMAS
