Joyce Roush’s son wanted her to move to Philadelphia, so she started researching adult education opportunities in the city. She wound up in Italy instead. Roush found that Temple University offered what it believes is the only noncredit study abroad program for adults by a U.S. college on a foreign-based campus — and she enrolled.
Now, she is one of nearly 50 adult students from cities around the country who took six weeks of classes at Temple’s Rome campus, nestled in an upscale, historic area of the city adjacent to the famous Spanish Steps.
