Courses

The ISI Florence Summer program is split into two sessions. You are able to choose one or two courses per session, depending on your academic pathway. Course information is available here. 

• Please review your courses with your academic or study abroad advisor to ensure they will transfer back to your home school and that you are following your home school’s policies.
• Please be flexible – we can’t guarantee specific courses. If your participation in the program depends on a particular course, be sure to make a note on your online course form.
• On your academic preferences form please indicate 8-10 courses, including alternates, that you are pre-approved for and can take while abroad. In the event of scheduling changes, time conflicts, prerequisites or cancellations, this ensures that you will be prepared to finalize your courses once overseas.

Prerequisites and Restrictions

You cannot enroll in online ISI courses: Arcadia University is unable to process credits of online courses offered at the ISI due to transcript & Title IV reporting constraints.
