University of St.Thomas Rome CORE Semester

study abroad and keep on track with your degree requirements. Volunteer work engages “Bernardines” with the local community, and a basic course in Italian connects you with the people of Rome. You’ll broaden your prospective of the world while making Italy your extended classroom. CORE courses have been adapted or selected to take advantage of being in Rome, whether seeing ancient Roman architecture that is the foundation of the modern city or studying social and economic issues such as the immigrant crisis and the Eurozone. Field trips within the city and to other sites in Italy put learning into context. You’ll take assignments and group projects into the field and the world, experiencing key concepts rather than watching or hearing them in a classroom. Migration, social justice, globalism and nationalism, cultural preservation, the built and natural environments are some of the experiences that shape your Rome CORE semester. If you have any questions about applying for the program, please contact Sarah Huesing from the Office of Study Abroad at [email protected].
