CCJS Summer Study Abroad in Italy




Students, join CCJS in Italy this summer! Over the course of two weeks, students will explore various locations in Italy - Rome, Sorrento, the Amalfi coast, Pompeii, and possibly Capri. There will also be a visit to the Refugee Center in Rome and work with a refugee support organization (LESS) in Sorrento.  The trip will focus on understanding the challenges faced among the refugee population but will also feature cultural activities and sightseeing. 

Students will be enrolled in CCJS458B (Human Trafficking in Context: The Vulnerabilities Associated with Being a Refugee in Italy) and earn 3 credits at the end of the trip term. This course can be used to fulfill a 400-level CCJS Course of Choice requirement.
