About the Program

Our six-week Language & Culture Program maximizes your time in Rome so you’re not just seeing this iconic city, you’re living and learning here, getting to know Rome as a Roman does.

Designed for students at any language level, our program lets you explore this world-famous city, all while picking up or perfecting your Italian. Field trips, courses, and Center-sponsored cultural events make for a holistic learning experience.

Enroll in two courses of your choice. There are a number of English-taught area studies courses, designed to give you the opportunity to explore topics like sustainability, geopolitics, immigration, art, archeology, and architecture all in the Italian and European context. Italian classes will guide you in practicing all four skills (speaking, reading, listening, and writing) with a focus on oral proficiency so you can make the most of your time in Rome.
