The Classics Department The Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome is the premier undergraduate program for Classical Studies abroad. The "Centro" offers a semester or year long program in Rome that includes courses in Greek, Latin and the Art, Archaeology, and History of Rome. Courses in Renaissance/Baroque Art and in Italian are also available. Students divide their time between classroom work and field trips to the major monuments of Rome, where they often get to go "behind the fence" to see excavations or museum displays inaccessible to mere tourists. The program also includes guided trips to the sites of Paestum, Pompeii and Sicily. (Photos from the 2002 Spring trip to Sicily). Students at the Centro live together in a 4-story building on the Janiculum hill across the Tibur (and only a 10-minute bus ride) from downtown Rome. Loyola College is a Member Institution of the Consortium of Colleges and Universities that runs the centro. As such, our students have a priority on admission to the program. The Centro is not a Loyola program and so Loyola students can not take their Loyola financial aid to it, but there is financial aid available from the Centro itself, and Loyola students can attend and retain their housing eligibility. Professor Taylor is a "Centrista," having spent the Spring of her Junior year at the Centro, and Professor McCreight served on the faculty during the academic year 2002-03. Loyola became a member of the managing committee of the Centro in 2001-2, and sent its first student to the Centro in the Spring of 2002. A second student attended the program in the Spring of 2003, and a third in Spring 2005.
