Explore the city of Rome and learn about its ancient history, architecture and culture this summer.
Study the politics and culture of Rome from its earliest foundations on the Palatine hill to the triumph of the new religion of Christianity and the subsequent collapse of an empire almost 1200 years later.
Daily walking excursions to the major archaeological and cultural sites of the Eternal City, include ancient ruins, museums, churches, piazzas, columns, and Egyptian obelisks. A trip to Pompeii is also planned.
The program is intended for mature and serious-minded students, who are eager to work hard, have fun, and are capable of long walks in a hot and humid climate.
