Study Abroad Program
Our program immerses college students into Roman history, art and culture by visiting Rome and other selected cities to learn in the environment and absorb all senses of Rome's way of life. Students apply hands-on skills and studies to navigate and solve real-world scenarios while developing lesson plans, presentations and interactive exhibits. Three weeks on campus and three weeks in Italy, students can earn up to 6-credit hours in the subjects of Humanities, History and Communications, all block electives.
