Foreign Study Expanded

Two new foreign study programs sponsored by the Departments of Art and Music have been approved for implementation beginning next year. In announcing the offerings, Edward M. Bradley, Associate Professor of Classics and chairman of the Foreign Study Program, noted that emphasis in each program will be on the study of art or music, rather than language, "allowing the student to use language as a tool and not as an end."

The Art Department will offer a program in Florence, Italy for the study of both art history and studio art. Classes will be taught in English, although students electing the program must have proficiency in Italian at the Italian I level. The city of Florence will serve as laboratory and cultural resource for the students, who will take two courses in art and one in language, plus history or another related subject. Professors Robert L. McGrath and John T. Paoletti have organized the art program.

Gabriel Chodos, Associate Professor of Music, will lead his department's first foreign study program to Vienna next winter term. While in Vienna, chosen for the rich concert life it offers, a student will take two courses in music, one on the Viennese Classical Era and the other either in performance or an independent study project. One course in Austrian and German language and literature will also be required.

While studying in Vienna or Florence, students will live with native families, an aspect of foreign study pioneered by the language study programs.
