Costa Unveils New “History of the Mafia” Course, Available In-Person and Online
Sal Costa will offer a brand-new course, “The History of the Mafia,” to all non-degree seeking students interested in taking it this fall.
For many years, Costa taught multiple unique courses at the University. Now retired, he has developed public, condensed versions of his most popular courses, including “Serial Killers” and “The Psychology of Abnormal Behavior.” This fall, Costa will unveil a new publicly available course, “The History of the Mafia.” Participants will be able to gain a wealth of knowledge, including about Sicilian and Italian customs.
Participants can experience the content in-person or online in real time (synchronously), or asynchronously by watching the lectures at their convenience. The online version of the course can be taken from anywhere in the United States.
A lecture-based course, Costa will provide new material each week. The eight-week course will begin Aug. 18 and run through Oct. 6. Classes will take place in-person and online from 6-8 p.m. every Tuesday. Soon after each class period, lectures will be available for viewing.
Registration can be completed online and is open to all non-degree seeking students. Anyone who takes the class – which is offered as a pass/fail option – will receive one hour of college credit.
More information about the course can be found online at institute.truman.edu under “Community Courses.” Cost is $65. Payment instructions will be sent after registration. For any questions about the course or registration, contact the Institute for Academic Outreach at 660.785.5384 or institute@truman.edu.
