Our study abroad offering provides students with world class learning opportunities, professional development, and cultural experiences.
Programs include:
The semester and year programs provide the biggest opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a true transformative experience, due to the amount of time spent abroad. The year long program will help to leverage your language skills the most as you navigate life as a 'local'. The fall semester program runs from September through December while the spring semester program runs from late January through May. Students can earn 12-16 credits upon the successful completion of their courses.
The summer months provide an extraordinary time for students to partake in a study abroad experience. Florence is buzzing with activities and events. The short summer programs provide the opportunity for students to take part in a 3-week program, while still leaving time for students to return home to intern, work, or travel to other destinations.
The winter break program provides an opportunity to study abroad during the winter holidays, usually starting immediately after the Christmas holiday. Check back for our December 2023 program.
Independent short-course programs take place during Spring break. Programming for Spring 2024 to be announced soon.
Faculty-Led and Customized study abroad programs provide students an opportunity for professors to experience and teach courses overseas, while bringing a group of students from their home university (or other affiliated schools if applicable). Faculty-Led programs are currently only available in Florence. Faculty and students will have full use of our host partner's campus facilities and labs, though you have the city of Florence as your classroom! Professors plan many on-site visits to local museums, palaces, and other points of interest. The learning does not have to end in Florence, since the city, located in the heart of Tuscany, is strategically located for traveling with ease to other Italian metropolitan cities such as Rome, Venice and Milan. Our field trip coordinator can assist with the organization of visits and travel.
