SCU Summer Program in Rome (Bracciano)
The Classics Department is thrilled to announce that students can study in Rome this summer and receive SCU credit. Live in the shadow of a 15th-century castle, immersed in nature just steps from the shore of a clear volcanic lake. Take stimulating core and elective classes with outstanding instructors. Experience the rhythms of daily life in both the traditional small community of Bracciano and Rome, one of the world's greatest capital cities. Travel with the program to historic hill towns. Explore on your own. Improve your Italian! And take our new course on the World of the Etruscans: CLAS 107: The World of the Study a fascinating ancient culture while living under the Etruscan sun! Taking advantage of our location in the heart of southern Etruria, we will explore the history and culture of the Etruscans, an enigmatic people who dominated much of the area between Florence and Rome until their ultimate subjugation by the expanding Roman republic. In addition to classes in Bracciano and Rome, we will visit archeological sites and museums in Cerveteri, Tarquinia and Florence. Students will also explore nearby sites on their own. Topics will include Etruscan religion, daily life (especially the status of women), art, and cultural connections with the ancient Greeks and Romans.
