Q to S Update:

This program will be offered during the summer break in odd years, starting in 2013.

Rome, Florence, Perugia, and Venice

This study abroad program is an intense visual experience. It offers a rich overview of Italian art, history, and culture. Students will gain information unattainable in any classroom. Beyond the knowledge acquired through scheduled academic activities, students will broaden their perspective of the world through daily interaction with Italian people and culture. Program dates June 22 - July 15, 2011 Eligibility and selection process This program is open to all students in good academic standing. Students on judicial probation at the start of the study abroad program will not be allowed to participate; there is an appeal process for those with B-level violations. Click here to read the entire judicial policy. Admission to this program is by a rolling admission procedure, with applications reviewed by the program director as they are received. Students who apply early therefore have a better chance for acceptance for one of the limited slots in the program. With enrollment held to just 22 students to ensure program quality, we recommend early application as all the places may be filled before the final application deadline of February 18, 2011.
