Courses

Enroll in one of the two academic pathways to make the most of your summer in Italy. General Studies students choose two courses for six credits in a variety of subjects per session, including Italian Language and Culture. Intensive Italian students select a course track based on  Italian language level. You may choose to participate in either individual session of the program or both sessions. 

• 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.
