Description
The Arcadia University Center for Italian Studies (AUCIS) was established in direct collaboration with one of Rome's most dynamic and innovative universities, Università degli Studi Roma Tre. American students will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves into not only the campus community, but into local communities as well. All courses are taught in classrooms of Università degli Studi Roma Tre, and many will have both Arcadia and university students taking them.
The cornerstone of the AUCIS program is the core course, "At Home in Rome: Modern Life in the Eternal City," bringing all students together to learn about Rome, Italy, and themselves. All program courses are worth 4 credits. In addition, all students enroll in a 4-credit required Italian language component.
Most courses include an embedded capstone project, field trips to relevant sites of interest, and co-curricular activities. View available courses.
In addition to courses at AUCIS, students have the opportunity to take courses at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre. Although the majority of the courses are taught in Italian, some are in English. Students have open access to the courses taught in English, and will need to have tested knowledge of Italian (at least a level of Italian equal to the European Framework's level B1) to take the courses taught in Italian. Università degli Studi Roma Tre offers a wide range of courses in many disciplines.
