Study Abroad
Peru Today (168-297 &497 U/G) is a six-credit course introducing students to the complex facets of Peru’s culture and society. The course examines the culture through its art, architecture and an introduction to the ethnic groups that make up Peruvian society. During the course students travel to three geographically distinct regions of Peru: Lima,the capital city located in the coastal desert, Cusco, the Andean center of pre-Columbian Inca civilization and the Tambopata nature reserve in the Amazon basin. The content of the class is delivered through on-site lectures and study in museums, archeological sites, visits to artists’ studios and through study in the natural environment of the Amazon rainforest. Students are required to do pre-departure readings and to construct a defined travel journal based on their individual research interests.

Guest Artists
Each year guest artists participate in lecture series, critiques and residencies in the department.

Scholarship
Every year, the Department offers approximately two dozen scholarships to undergraduate students at every level.
