Courses to be based in Rome, Italy, and Guadalajara, Mexico, can be taken by UT Tyler students for credit. However, participants do not have to be UT Tyler students, Dr. Clendenen said. The course is applicable to most degree programs at UT Tyler, Dr. Gajda said. Participants also will visit the Bay of Naples, Pompeii, the Isle of Capri and the province of Umbria and Assisi, as well as Venice, Florence and Lugano, Switzerland. Included in the cost will be airfare, double-occupancy hotel accommodations, meals, admissions and fees to sights on the itinerary, transfers, a cruise to the Isle of Capri and the services of a tour director and local guides.
Some grants are available.
For information, contact Dr. Gajda at 566-7440. English-speaking professors from Tec de Monterrey, a private university, will teach both courses. Business leaders from the community may be brought into the classroom. There will be visits to area businesses. Participants will live in off-campus apartments located in a retail area near the University of Guadalajara, a short bus ride from Tec de Monterrey.
