Field Studies

In 2023, Classical Studies, History, and Geography ran All Roads Lead to Rome, a field studies program that included almost a month of intensive learning about the city of Rome.   We explored well-known sites and hidden gems all over Rome - and got course credit for it!  A new field studies program for Summer 2026 is currently being considered; check back for more info in Sept 2025 or contact the program coordinator.

Archaeological Research

Students have had several opportunities to work with Dr. Knapp in Vancouver and in Calabria, Italy to assist with research and learn about excavation.
