Who wants to study abroad in Rome?  Actually, who doesn’t?! 
 
TTU Professor John Poch will lead you on a dynamic one-month course in The Eternal City. Rome, without a doubt, is one of the most important, historic, cultural, and beautiful cities in the world. The food, the art, and architecture are without compare. While you immerse yourself in the beauty of Rome and other Italian locales, you’ll be earning credit toward your TTU degree.
 
This course is a hands-on class in Creative Writing (primarily poetry-3 credit hours) and a month you will never forget. Included in this modest course fee is: Housing in Rome, Classroom/Facility Fee, Orientation, Survival Italian language class, Day trip to Spoleto, Day trip to Gubbio, Guided tour of the Roman Forum, Guided tour of the Coliseum, Guided tour of the Vatican, Numerous walking tours of the city to view churches, architecture, art, culture, etc., and Group Meals.
 
Some weekends will be open so you can travel on your own to other cities in Italy like Florence, Siena, Perugia, or Venice, or to other cities in Europe. Or just keep exploring Rome. You won’t run out of things to do. Of all your TTU experiences to come, this is likely to be the most defining and memorable.
