TTU Professor John Poch will lead you on a dynamic one-month course in Spoleto, Italy. Italy, without a doubt, is one of the most important, historic, cultural, and beautiful counties in the world. The food, the art, and architecture are without compare. While you immerse yourself in the beauty of Italy, you’ll be earning credit toward your TTU degree.
 
This course is a hands-on class in Creative Writing (primarily travel writing-3 credit hours) and a month you will never forget. Included in this modest course fee is: Housing in Rome, Classroom/Facility Fee, Orientation, multiple excursions, an “Emergency Italian language” class. 
 
Some weekends will be open so you can travel on your own to other cities in Italy like Florence, Siena, or Venice, or to other cities in Europe. Or just keep exploring Spoleto and its environs. 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.
