program highlights
During alternate Januarys, a month when students on campus
take one course in four weeks, the Art Department sponsors tours to Europe. Our
travels have taken us to Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland
and England. Cost for the 10-12 day tours runs around $2,000. The fee includes
4 semester hours of tuition, airfare, bus transportation, hotels, two meals per
