Summer 2010 program

John felice rome center Summer Undergraduate Program

May 22-June 25, 2010

This five-week program is scheduled to permit students to return to Chicago in time to participate in Loyola's second Summer Session. Most classes will meet for one-and-a-half-hour sessions Monday through Thursday, and will be taught by Rome- and Chicago-based Loyola faculty. On-site classes will meet twice a week for slightly over three hours. The final exam is typically scheduled for the last class meeting of each course.

Please be aware that, when you are making your flight reservations, all participants in this program are expected to arrive at the JFRC on Saturday morning, May 22, and are required to depart by 8:30 a.m. on Friday, June 25. There is no school-sponsored student group flight for the summer; all students must book their own round-trip tickets.  Students will reside in double rooms on campus while enrolled in the program. Administrative and student life support will be provided by JFRC staff

Course Listing & Timetable for Summer 2010

 Students must select two courses (6 semester hours) from the scheduled offerings.
