Slide 1: 

TRVL 300 – The Culture of Italy Rome, Florence and Venice 2011

How does a travel course work? : 

How does a travel course work? A travel course combines in-class learning with travel experience to a country other than the US. You’ll learn about the history, art, society and culture of Italy before travelling, and you’ll see examples of each while on tour. Academic study and travel are independent but interconnected If you decide to not earn MCLA credits, you can still travel The travel course credits are elective, and they don’t count towards your major, minor or concentration. However the experience is invaluable and will change your perspective of the world. If you do not enroll in the course, you will not earn credits
