Study in Rome

Rome: Art, Archeology and Civic Life

This one-credit program provides students the opportunity to live in Rome’s vibrant present and explore its Imperial past.  Following your five+ week immersion in the city of modern Rome and its historical sites (Roman Forum, Colosseum, hill to Palatine), you will spend 4 nights in the modern city of Pompeii.  From here, this program explores Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mt. Vesuvius, the Naples Archaeological Museum and other sites which chronicle the events of the Roman Empire.
Students complete this program with an in-depth knowledge of imperial Roman history gained through hands-on exploration of the ancient remains.  They also become citizens of Rome.  Traveling by bus and foot throughout the city each day, you will feel at home in the city that is your classroom.
