The fall and spring semester programs offered at the Trinity College, Rome Campus in Rome, Italy, are designed as part of the undergraduate program offered at Trinity College in Hartford. They are conceived as a way of offering special educational opportunities for students who want to broaden their cultural horizons and to learn through immediate exposure to a different and stimulating environment. Rome is a natural center for such a learning experience because of its wide range of objects of interest in art, music, literature, history, religion and archaeology in addition to its many contemporary cultural attractions. There is no language prerequisite.

The Trinity College/Rome Campus curriculum is especially suited for students of the humanities, but students of the sciences may also arrange for a term in Rome. Courses are taught in English except for those in Italian language and literature. All participants enroll for an Italian language course or a literature course taught in Italian.

Included and integrated into the program are major educational excursions to Florence, to Venice, and to Naples, Pompeii and Capri. There are additional trips in and near Rome (Tivoli, Ostia Antica, and Spoleto). Various cultural and recreational activities are also arranged. Some recent visits organized for participants have been to the Quirinal Palace (official Presidential Residence), Palazzo Montecitorio (Chamber of Deputies), Vatican Gardens, Film Studios at Cinecittà, as well as the following outings: classical and modern music concerts, operas, plays, painting exhibits, soccer games, basketball games and horseback riding.

The Campus is situated on the Aventine, one of the original seven hills of Rome, overlooking the Tiber on one side and the Circus Maximus on the other. It is close to most of the famous monuments of antiquity and convenient to transit facilities. The many opportunities for enjoyment of Roman life---cafés, little shops, the picturesque flea market, ancient basilicas, the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill---are all within walking distance of the school. Students are usually housed in dormitory style quarters of a renovated convent which is surrounded by parks and public gardens. Accommodations are either of single or double occupancy with private bath.

The cost of the program (including round-trip transatlantic travel) is equal to or less than that to attend Trinity College in Hartford. It covers tuition, room and board, excursions and the required health insurance. Personal spending money is additional.

There is also a summer program offered in Rome.
