Description: For 40 years, FSU has offered its students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the home of the Renaissance. At a great location in Florence, Florida State University Professors and Administration work closely with Italy's teaching elite to bring students a wide variety of cultural interactions and studies. The program bases much of its study on the city itself, using the huge amounts of art and architecture to emphasize the traditional lecture.

The curriculum offered can be used to complete electives, degrees in arts, language, marketing, and Italian Studies Minor. The university also offers distance learning classes via the center's well-stocked library and computer lab.

Highlights: The students will have the opportunity to see Florence for its art and culture from the inside, without the complications and brevity of being a tourist. The program also includes excursions and activities for students, giving them a sponsored tour of other parts of the countryside without sapping their pocketbooks.
