Coursework is available at the master's level in the Visual Arts. A summer program is also offered, and internships for credit are available each semester. With the exception of Italian language courses, all instruction is in English. Temple Rome is housed in the Villa Caproni, a handsome building facing the Tiber River in the heart of Rome. Just north of Piazza del Popolo and within short walking distance of the lively Spanish Steps and the beautiful Borghese Gardens, the Villa Caproni is convenient to living accommodations, shops, and historical sites. Its facilities include academic classrooms equipped with "smart classroom" technology; one of Rome's largest English-language libraries; computer labs and a wireless internet system; extensive professional visual arts and architecture studios; an art gallery; student lounges; and administrative offices.
Highlights:
The academic program is enriched by course field trips that acquaint students with the sites, artworks, monuments and festivals associated with the people and history of Italy. A regular lecture series throughout the semester on archaeology, art, architecture, culture, current events, film studies and literature supplements the academic program. Through the year, the Temple Rome Gallery sponsors exhibitions of Italian and American artists working in Italy and other European countries, as well as student and faculty shows.
