Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive three hours of transferable college credit. Participants will study several passages from Cicero, Virgil, and Livy. Students will also read selected literature in translation to support travels in and around Rome and Naples. The academic program will include lectures by university faculty who have lived and taught in Rome, daily language tutorials, group discussions of texts, as well as guided visits to the historical sites and world famous museums in the vicinity. Eligible high school students include rising juniors, seniors, and recent high school graduates who have completed at least three years of high school Latin.
Credit is transferable to all accredited institutions.
Towering trees, serene sunsets, a swimming pool, and basketball and tennis courts help students relax and recover from the rigors of study and travel. International exchange, an educational, non profit organization, prepares young people for their opportunities and responsibilities in a changing, interdependent world. More than 200,000 young people from more than 50 nations in Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa, and the Pacific have participated in YFU exchanges. Each exchange is coordinated by a worldwide network of national YFU organizations and supported by more than 3,500 trained and dedicated volunteers. We are continuously developing our database of study abroad programs.
