STUDY ABROAD
Plato has quoted Socrates: Philosophy (love of wisdom) begins in wonder.
The semester abroad begins in Washington, D.C., looking for references
to the Greek and Roman past that influenced the American Founding
Generation. It continues in Europe, tracing cultural roots from the ancient
world to the Enlightenment. Classes take place in Orvieto and in
classrooms without walls throughout Italy, and elsewhere in Europe.
In this optional program, scholars earn 12-15 credits.

those that regulate his behavior and his sense, that will teach him to know himself, and
to die well and to live well. (Montaigne)
