Western Civilization

HISTORY OF A WESTERN CIVILIZATION:
Academic Journey to Ancient Greece and Rome, Renaissance Florence and Revolutionary France
Our pioneer program on Western Civilization is designed for adventurous students who are eager to learn first-hand the origins and evolution of Western thought, culture and art. The program follows the path of Western Civilization from the Ancient Greeks to the Ancient Romans, continuing to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and, finally, to the Enlightenment. The program will take you to Athens, Rome, Siena, Florence and Paris for the trip of a lifetime.
HOUSING : While in Athens, Rome, and Paris, the group will live in centrally located hotels and enjoy meals at local restaurants. During your week in Florence, you will enjoy a relaxing break from hotel living while staying in a modern apartment residence. Each apartment includes a loft, living room, kitchen, bathroom and access to the
residence’s breathtaking private terrace. You will live as true Italians during this unforgettable week, shopping at local markets and learning to prepare traditional
Florentine meals.
