ITAL-1300 (3) La Dolce Vita: Why the Humanities Matter, Italian Style

Introduces students to a critical appraisal of the Humanities in their world. Because the Humanities were rediscovered in the late Middle Ages in Italy, the course explores the Humanities from an Italian-centered perspective, though it broadens the scope of its analysis to make this perspective relevant for students who come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Requisites: Restricted to students with 0-56 credits (Freshmen or Sophomore) only.
