Information Session
Rome Institute of Liberal Arts Summer courses
June 18-July 13, 2012
Rome, Italy
The Thomas Jefferson Center is pleased to announce two summer courses offered in Rome by our affiliated program, the Rome Institute of Liberal Arts. Spend mornings studying great books, and explore the museums and other cultural riches of Rome and the surrounding countryside in afternoon and weekend excursions.
This summer, two courses will be offered: “Beauty and the Sacred,” with readings from Plato, Dante, and Hegel, and “Empire and the Soul,” with readings from Plato, Thucydides, Livy, and Machiavelli. Both courses may be taken for UT credit, and “Beauty and the Sacred” meets the UT Visual and Performing Arts requirement.
The Jefferson Center will offer a full scholarship to RILA.
To find out about the program, to meet students who have attended in the past, and to get application and scholarship information, please attend our information session:
