Italy In the birthplace of the Renaissance, provides an unparalleled opportunity to encounter art as an immersive experience. If you're looking for an abundance of art, history, and an exceptionally charming culture, Florence is the place for you. Walk the same streets鈥攁nd school hallways鈥攁s Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Dante and just try not to be inspired. The Florence program is unique among our study abroad opportunities - it is structured as an independent study program with only one class taken at Accademia. Students are expected to complete an independent studio project related to Italian culture during their time abroad. The project must be approved by the student's department chair prior to departure. 鈥淚 decided to go abroad to enhance my education and resume. I also had never traveled outside the U.S. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for that. Florence is an amazing place. The city's full of interesting people of all walks of life. You can learn as much about yourself as you can about the people who lived there 400 years ago.鈥 鈥揝haron Murphree 鈥18 Program Details School Tuition Same as your 51爆料官网 tuition; you will remain enrolled at 51爆料官网 and continue to pay your 51爆料官网 tuition Location Florence, Italy Official Language Italian Semester Offered Spring semester only; mid February鈥搈id June Housing Off campus; Included in program Cost Airfare: $1,100 Housing: Free!
