Honors Program

‘The Rome Experience’ is a specially tailored interdisciplinary course that brings together art history, communications and film, history, literature, philosophy and politics to create a unique fourteen week program. The course explores Rome from its mythical foundations to the twenty-first century focusing on historical moments of transition and upheaval that formed the city’s unique character chosen from:

• The Age of Augustus: from Republic to Empire
• Renaissance, Reformation and Renewal

Under the supervision of a faculty member, a student in ‘The Rome Experience’ researches, prepares and presents a substantial project reflecting her or his individual major and specific interests with regard to Rome. Juniors or seniors with honors standing can apply to this program. For further information contact the Office of the Provost at provost@aur.edu
