Students have the opportunity to retrace the steps of Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance cultures by living and studying in three cities which embody these civilizations in all their richness and splendor.
The Spring program includes the cities of Tuscania, Rome and Venice while the Fall program includes Tuscania, Rome and Florence. Students spend one month in Tuscania followed by one month in Rome, then they complete the experience in Venice (Spring) or Florence (Fall). They follow a stuctured and integrated program of five 3-credit courses, which together comprise both a unique investigation into the roots of Western civilization and a solid grounding in Italian language and culture. See the 3-Cities Program (Spring, Fall) in the Course section below for the listing of courses.
