Last but not least, look at this special short-term program offering: MUSI 387 — Music and the Cultural Heritage of Italy.

Celebrate the beauty of Italian culture by traveling to Italy! “Music and the Cultural Heritage of Italy” will study Italian music from its beginnings in the beautiful courts of Italian aristocracy, to the glorious opera houses of Italy. The class will learn about the political unification or “Risorgimento” of Italy and how opera figured into its political landscape. This on-campus spring semester (2 credit) course will culminate in travel to Milan, Verona, and Venice. Basic Italian language skills will be studied as part of the spring course. Once in Italy, the class will tour the cities, visit museums, and attend opera performances. The course will celebrate and investigate Italian culture culminating in cultural immersion living “la bella vita!”

Note: This is a Spring 2027 course on campus with required 14 days of travel in early June 2027.

Application due: April 15th.

Up next is SOCW 325 (VW, GE) — Social, Educational, and Health Services in Tobago

Through community engagement, readings, critical reflections, and group debriefing, we will explore the meaning of service and community cultural wealth in Tobago. We discuss power and intersectionality focusing largely on race, gender, and nationality and how positionality impacts the ways we are able to live, learn, and interact with Tobagonians and others in the course. Students will learn about health, educational, and social service strengths and challenges in Tobago from professionals in each of those fields. We will participate in a variety of excursions designed to introduce students to the physical as well as cultural and social environment of Tobago.

Application due: April 15th
