All Roads Lead to Rome!
Spend a semester in Rome and earn
credit towards your history degree!
Did You
Know?
- The Roman Empire once spanned three continents?
- Piazza Navona was once a race track used for chariot
races?
- Ancient Romans used to flood the coliseum with water to have
navel battles?
- During the construction of Rome's new metro line, they had to
repeatedly stop because they kept running into Ancient
artifacts?
There is no better way to learn
about history than by standing in the very spot where history took
place. Rome is one of the best cities in the world to make this
happen with its abundance of ancient structures and thriving
culture.
With this philosophy in mind,
the History Department is pleased to offer two new course additions
to the Discover Italy curriculum. Students will be given the
opportunity to discover Italy's ancient and medieval history
through in-class discussions and site-visits throughout the
city.
This program was created with
History majors and minors in mind and caters directly to their
academic requirements. Students will be able to fulfill some of
their "Non-Western" and "European" course requirements in
addition to taking general core classes such as philosophies and
theologies. Students from other majors who have a keen interest in
Roman history are also welcome to apply.
For additional course details,
be sure to visit the Course Descriptions page or
contact Dr. Tracey-Anne Cooper.
