The Department of Religion and Philosophy conducts a four-week interdisciplinary program in Rome, offering courses in creative writing, music, art, and religion. 

In addition to class offerings, students enjoy dinners and discussions with guest speakers, participation in site visits, concerts, and art exhibits, and they take part in a service learning project with women in Rome.  

Students explore the relationships between gender, culture, and religion during a variety of eras, beginning with classical Rome. A central focus of the program is how women have impacted this largely male-defined sacred city.
