Renaissance Leadership & Rhetoric Italy Courses

SYLLABUS FOR: ORGL510 - Renaissance Leadership for the 21st Century taught by Dr. Michael Carey 

COML513 - Renaissance Rhetoric taught by Dr. John Caputo

The Renaissance was inspired by the ideals of classical antiquity—awareness of human power and potentiality, and a passion for discovery—but it also transformed them to meet the challenges of the time. Now we can draw inspiration from Renaissance ideals, transforming them to meet our own challenges.

Both courses are 3 graduate credits and are offered in tandem while in Florence.  Most students find it convenient to take both courses and thus earning 6 graduate credits.  The majority of the course work is approached as online courses, with the Florence time the "experiential" portion of the longer, more indepth course.

A typical class day would be:
9am - 10:15am  - class session
10:15am - 10:45am - caffe' discussion
10:45am - 12:30pm - class session
12:30pm - 2:30pm - free time
2:30pm - 6pm - afternoon excursions
