This is an upper division humanities course, HUEN 3700.
It is open to students from all CU colleges and qualifies for upper division humanities credit for students in the College of Engineering. While the course counts as credit for students from other colleges, it may not count as credit toward a student’s major or as core credit. Students should check with their advisors.
At least sophomore standing is required as of the time the course is taught. (Current freshmen may therefore become eligible.) Students in past years have ranged from sophomores to seniors, with the majority being juniors.
There are no specific course prerequisites. A minimum gpa of 2.75 is expected: some exceptions have been made when good reasons have presented themselves.
The course has filled with its limit of 25 students in each of its four years.
The program will be fairly intense, with classes 7 days per week. The reasons for this are to reduce costs and to allow more time and money for independent travel before or after the course.
The director of the program is Wayne Ambler. He teaches at CU Boulder and lived in Rome for a decade. He will also bring in several guest lecturers to help with the teaching on particular topics.
There will be no classroom in the usual sense; classes will be held at the major monuments in Rome. Instruction will be in English; no knowledge of Italian is necessary (though it can be fun).
The dates for 2010 are May 12-25. However, in addition to these two weeks in Rome, we also have four 75-minute meetings in March and April here in Boulder. Meetings will probably be on consecutive Sunday nights.
The application also includes a personal interview.
The program cost is $2650 for in-state students and $3650 for out-of-state students. This includes tuition, books, local transportation, room, all breakfasts and six other meals. It does not include airfare, personal expenses, other meals, or transportation to and from airports.
