Space is still available for The University of Texas at Tyler 鈥淚talian Adventure,鈥� Dr. Jill Blondin, Center for Global Education director, announced.
The public trip is one of many travel/study opportunities scheduled through the Center for Global Education.
Belize, China, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands are among travel/study course destinations set for this summer.
鈥淪tudents have the opportunity to visit and learn about various cultures and areas firsthand,鈥� Blondin said. 鈥淭he 鈥業talian Adventure鈥� is a noncredit opportunity for those seeking a truly unique travel experience. My area of specialty is Italian art, and we will see some of the greatest works of art ever created.鈥�
Participants will travel on Oct. 1 鈥� 9 and visit Rome, Orvieto, Florence and Assisi to study art and architecture.
鈥淯nlike traditional travel/study programs, participants in the 鈥淚talian Adventure鈥� do not pay tuition, which keeps costs lower,鈥� she added.
The 鈥満诹献�区 Tyler Italian Adventure鈥� is co-sponsored by the Friends of 黑料专区 Tyler Travel Program, which provides unique insight and additional opportunities that may not be experienced through traditional 黑料专区 Tyler travel study courses, Blondin said.
黑料专区 Tyler also offers students additional travel abroad/study opportunities including the British Studies Programs in collaboration with the University of Southern Mississippi and the Abbey in France, she added.
