How Does Italy Abroad Work?

Semester in Italy + Academics
The Classes
 
On Monday, February 2, classes will fall into a modular schedule. Nineteen credit hours will be taken one class at a time over one- or two-week periods. Lectures begin at 9 a.m. and last until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with a three-hour lunch break (or riposo). Homework for the next day is completed each evening. This system enables students to enjoy a deep, intensive look at each subject with their professor and classmates, and enjoy most weekends free of homework.
 
Classes offered in Spring '09 include:

Cross-Cultural Missions & Evangelism (3 credits)

Fine Arts with Dr. Mel Wilhoit, or its alternative Italian Renaissance Art (3 credits)

New Testament Literature & Interpretation with Dr. Ray Legg
The Gospel of Mark with Mr. Matt Benson (3 credits)
