The program requires a minimum of one course per session. Choose your electives from the academic options listed below for a total of 3-7 credits for a single session and up to 12 credits for two sessions. Enrollment in more than one course per session will incur additional fees.

• 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.

Choosing Your Courses

Refer to the Sant’Anna Institute website for course descriptions. Not all courses run every term. When selecting courses, please confirm which courses are available with your Program Advisor.  Detailed syllabi are available upon request. Please note that Marine Biology is offered for 3 credits without the laboratory component in the summer.

• Course Offerings
• Internships (Requires additional application materials)

WHEN COMPLETING YOUR COURSE SELECTION FORM:

• You are encouraged to enroll in an Italian language course if you have no background in the language.
