 罗马的核心

罗马广场Most students spend a semester during their sophomore year at the CQ9游戏官方网站’ 罗马校区,位于罗马南部. The courses in Rome are Core courses, which ensures the academic integrity of the program and keeps students on track for graduation.

As part of their studies, students enjoy frequent outings where they can walk in the footsteps of the greatest thinkers in Western civilization, stroll among the ruins of Ancient Rome and Greece (during the 10-day Greece trip), visit some of the most beautiful and momentous sites of the Roman Catholic Church, perform recitations of the Greek tragedies they’ve been studying in the actual theaters where the dramas were once performed, and see the fields where ancient heroes fought and died in the 塑造历史进程的战役.
