Description: The Venice Studio Arts program offers coursework in graphic design or painting in the historically rich artistic center of Venice, Italy. Italian and international students interact in the same classes and visiting artists enrich the creative atmosphere. Every effort is made to integrate the artistic traditions and resources of Venice into the courses.

In addition to regular class meetings, students have access to the studios to work independently or with assistants. Field trips to neighboring cities and visits to local museums, galleries and art sites complement the curriculum. Upon successful completion of a semester, students earn 18-20 Boston University credits.
