(students take only one course)
MUS 101. Introduction to Western Music (D) or MUS 285 for MUS majors/minors
Earn Divisional or major/minor credit while exploring some some Europe's most beautiful and musically rich cities! We will be listening to inspiring music by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and many others, learning about what makes their compositions not just beautiful but culturally significant. Visits to museums, art galleries and instrument collections will allow us to understand the music in its wider cultural context. No previous musical background is required.
ENG 150. Reading, Writing, and Travel (D)This course will engage students in reading and discussing a variety of texts and keeping journals that address specific topics suggested by our readings, seminars, and site visits. The assignments will ask students to reflect on various aspects of travel: on encountering different cultural customs, on how imagined literary settings compare with actual places; on how carefully described settings by writers familiar with them affect their experience of a place and of the literature written about it; on how travel enriches their reading and vice-versa. Readings will feature a mix of plays, stories, nonfiction travel writings, poetry, and fiction to introduce students to the array of ways in which travelers have interpreted the world by reflecting and writing about their travels.
