THE PROGRAM INCLUDES MANY VISITS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND MUSEUMS, BOTH IN ROME AND ITS VICINITY (E.G. OSTIA, COSA, AND HADRIAN'S VILLA AT TIVOLI) AND TWO LONGER FIELD TRIPS, ONE TO THE BAY OF NAPLES (POMPEII, HERCULANEUM, CUMAE) AND THE OTHER TO THE TEMPLES, VILLAS, AND MUSEUMS OF SICILY. THE STUDY OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES IS ALSO A CENTRAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM. STUDENTS MUST TAKE COURSES IN EITHER (OR BOTH) GREEK OR LATIN AT THE INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCED LEVELS. IN ADDITION, COURSES ARE OFFERED IN THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE AT THE INTRODUCTORY LEVEL, AND IN RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE ART.”
