Department
of Art & Humanities
Latin to Life Drawing, Printmaking to Picasso,
Manuscripts to Matisse, Contemporary Art to Caravaggio:
the Department of Arts and Humanities offers a
broad and exciting selection of courses. Through
two majors and four different minors, our students
are given the opportunity to explore a range of
topics in the Liberal Arts. Our courses focus
on the western tradition and take maximum advantage
of Rome’s unique position within it. The
University’s location close to the city
centre means that many classes take place on site.
Some courses also have excursions to Florence,
Venice, Pompeii, Ravenna, Athens, Paris and Barcelona.
Arts and Humanities is AUR’s fastest growing
department, our Art History major began in Fall
2004 and offers four concentration tracks (some
in conjunction with other departments): Business
of Art, Classical Studies, Film Studies or Archeology.
Our major in Inter-disciplinary Studies encourages
students, together with their academic advisor,
to craft a program of courses to foster and develop
personal interests. Students with majors in other
disciplines can extend their interest beyond their
main field of study with minors in Art History,
Archeology or Classical Studies and Classical
Heritage. We also lead the field trips offered
by Student Services and regularly take students
to see all the best tourist spots like Florence,
Venice and Pompeii but also to discover the more
hard to get to places like the hill towns of Tuscany
with our “Inside Italy” series. Going
on field trips can also earn you credit: we offer
one credit courses for Pompeii and Athens.
Come and visit! We are located in the "Villino"
adjacent to main campus (entrance on Viale XXX
Aprile).
