The Basics

Page history last edited by Paul Diduch 7 years, 1 month ago
This is an upper division humanities course, HUEN 3700.
It is open to students from all CU colleges and qualifies for upper division humanities credit for students in the College of Engineering. While the course counts as credit for students from other colleges, it may not count as credit toward a student’s major or as core credit. Students should check with their advisors.
At least sophomore standing is required as of the time the course is taught. (Current freshmen are therefore likely to become eligible by the time the course begins.) Students in past years have ranged from sophomores to seniors, with the majority being juniors.
There are no specific course prerequisites. A minimum gpa of 2.75 is expected: some exceptions have been made when good reasons have presented themselves.
Visit the Study Abroad Office for information and to apply.  This link will help you find it:  http://studyabroad.colorado.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Abroad.ViewLink&Parent_ID=0&Link_ID=6E1AEDD7-9434-9425-6A352D1D6EDD7092&pID=13&lID=54. 

 

The course filled with its limit of 25 students in its six years; I am reducing the size to 19 in 2013.

The program will be fairly intense, with classes 7 days per week. The reasons for this are to reduce costs and to allow more time and money for independent travel before or after the course: we eliminate the weekend to provide time once the course is over.
The director of the program is Paul Diduch. While having considerable experience with Roman history, culture, and art, Paul will also bring in several guest lecturers to help with the teaching on particular topics.
There will be no classroom in the usual sense; classes will be held at the major monuments in Rome. Instruction will be in English; no knowledge of Italian is necessary (though it can be fun as well as helpful).
The dates for 2017 are May 13 to 26. However, in addition to these two weeks in Rome, we also have three meetings here in Boulder. Meetings will probably be on Sunday nights (end of April, early May).
The application also includes a personal interview.
Students have considered the course a great success. See the course FCQ's and the page of comments on this site: http://culturewarsinrome.pbworks.com/Student-Comments.
With regard to costs: 
The program cost is roughly $3000 for in-state students; out-of-state students are charged about an extra $1000. This is not a charge merely for tuition but also includes books, local transportation, room, all breakfasts and three other meals. It does not include airfare, personal expenses, other meals, travel after the program, or transportation to and from airports.

What do you get for your Rome Fee, and what is its approximate value?

 

Total for the Rome Fee:                                              $3000 (plus or minus)

Estimated Additional Personal Costs:                         $3000  (depending on extra travel)

Grand Total (approx)                                                  $6000
