Temple University Rome - Summer Session
Italy
Term: Summer
Dates: mid-May to the end of June
Description:
Since its establishment in 1966, Temple University Rome has provided undergraduate and graduate students of the arts, architecture, international business and liberal arts with the opportunity to spend a semester or academic year studying in Rome. Temple University Rome also offers a 6-week summer session comprised of undergraduate courses in art; art history; classics; film and media arts; graphic art and design; history, international business; Italian language; journalism; and religious studies. Internship opportunities are also available. The program is open to qualified students matriculated at U.S. colleges and universities. With the exception of Italian language courses, all instruction is in English.
Highlights:
The program includes three one-day excursions. The first is an orientation excursion to Todi, a medieval hilltown in Umbria, followed by a traditional meal in the village of Titignano. The second excursion is to the hilltown of Tivoli to visit Hadrian's Villa, the most impressive villa in the Roman Empire and home to Emperor Hadrian from A.D. 135 to his death, and the Villa d'Este, a 16th-century villa with elaborate gardens and fountains. On the third excursion, students explore the Via Cassia, which runs north from Rome into Tuscany and offers a host of interesting sites, including the Renaissance town of Caprarola with the magnificent 16th-century Palazzo Farnese and the Castello Orsini Bracciano. In addition to these full-day excursions outside of Rome, an additional feature of the Temple Rome summer program is frequent, on-site instruction for many of the courses, enabling students to study firsthand the sites, artistic treasures, traditions and business practices associated with the people and history of Italy. Whether you are studying art history or management, these visits bring academic subjects to life and expose students to daily life in Rome.

Temple University's Mission Statement: The Temple University International Programs office is responsible for administering Temple-sponsored study abroad programs; advising Temple students on study abroad program and scholarship opportunities; serving as a liaison between the main campus and our campuses in Rome and Tokyo, acting as a resource for the Temple University community on matters concerning international education, and responding to increasing interest in international activities on the part of Temple students and faculty.
We continue to develop and strengthen the international education programs that help Temple students attain a global perspective. We recognize that today, more than ever, the world demands that students understand other countries and how they are linked together. We are committed to the notion that through international education, Temple students enrich their general education, acquire knowledge and experience for their later professional success, and develop life skills needed to become competent and engaged global citizens.
