Penn State's Anatomy in Italy course offers a mix of biology and history, which combines students’ interests in medicine and Italian culture and challenges them to rethink what it means to study anatomy and the human body. 🇮🇹

A few Eberly students, including Veronica Swartz, who graduated in May with a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology, and Luscinia Quance, a biology student, took this course over spring break this year.
