Students will also visit some of Italy’s finest museums in Rome including the Vatican Museum and tour the necropolis (city of the dead) underneath St. Peter’s Basilica while experiencing the richness of contemporary Italian culture. We’ll stay in small, local bed and breakfasts and dine in the trattorias of Rome to partake of Italy at its fullest!
The Classical Studies Department is also a member of the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome (ICCS Rome; the "Centro") and regularly sends students there for a semester. The center offers courses in Latin, Roman archaeology and history, Greek, Italian, and Art History. Located in a lovely residential neighborhood in Rome, close to the Classical and Renaissance center of this cosmopolitan city, students make frequent site visits and have in-depth explorations of museum collections, and schedule numerous trips, including two extensive tours of Campania and Sicily.
