Courses in Spring 2009

Florence and London are contrasting cities in the pace at which they move, the way they feel and what they have to offer. The program’s courses reflect those contrasts in how they are taught, the kind of work required, and how they use the environment. At the two sites, students explore the arts in lively and differing approaches, and profit from embracing the varied styles of learning that the cities present.

The courses offered in each city reflect the special interests and expertise of the instructors, and are designed to make full use of the unique cultural strengths of the local environment.

Since classroom instruction is closely integrated with a variety of out-of-class activities, students must participate in all courses.
