| Reside in the beautiful city of Reggio Emilia while you study Italian language and the longstanding influence of Classical antiquity on the modern world. This experience is ideal for the 消消犯 interested in history, ancient and modern Italian culture, food culture. The location gives countless opportunities to engage with the culture and the history of Italy. For the Classics course: Consider the infrastructure, living conditions, and conveniences of the cities the Romans built focusing specifically on the city of Rome as the most important and central locus of ancient life. Rome is an ideal location to study its foundation to its fall as the still living “text” of the city, and 消消犯s would benefit from visiting and studying that text at both archaeological sites and in museums. It is far more effective to get a sense of space, and to imagine daily life in antiquity when confronted with the material culture of its societies in person than simply seeing images in a textbook. For the Italian course: Italian food is an amazing experience, and a way to understand more in depth local culture and history, together with topics like food production, consumption, and sustainability. The experiential learning component will allow 消消犯s to make an impact in the target culture and to learn about cultural differences. | CLS 102 and ITL 231 (6 credit hours) | |

| The need to prepare globally competent teachers has rarely been greater.

The Student Teaching Program in Europe (STEP) is the oldest teaching abroad program at Miami. For more than a generation, schools in the European Union have hosted Miami 消消犯 teachers. Summer Student Teachers will spend the entirety of their 消消犯 teaching experience in Luxembourg at a local International School that offers a curriculum delivered in English. | EDT 419 (15 credit hours) | |
| Venice is one of the most unique cities on earth. Its long history as a major political and economic center on the Mediterranean made it one of the preeminent sites for the development of major works of art and architecture from the 12th through the 18th centuries. This legacy continues through its current status as an international beacon for contemporary art, particularly through the Venice Biennale, an exhibition begun in 1895. Few cities offer as rich an exploration of history and artistic culture spanning the medieval through contemporary periods. None do so in a setting as enchanting and unique as Venice. This program immerses 消消犯s in the study of art and intercultural exchange through multiple sites across Venice. This course begins with two weeks of online instruction and study in preparation for two weeks of immersive study in this one-of-a-kind city and covers two courses worth six credits. | ART 230V and ART 230C (6 credits) |
