Description

The 3 Cities program is the perfect option for the student who wants to experience as much of Italy as possible in one semester while discovering the roots of Western civilization and culture as it evolved through the great empires of antiquity. Students spend one month in three of Lorenzo de' Medici - The Italian International Institute's four locations, and follow a structured program of five 3-credit courses. Classes meet every day Monday through Thursday for two and a half hours each, providing a total of 45 contact hours per course.

Highlights

Our civilization is the end product of widely contrasting cultures that evolved over many hundreds of years. With the Renaissance it became possible to unite the strands of these cultures in a new and exciting synthesis that prepared the way for the birth of the modern world. This semester-long study abroad experience allows students to retrace the steps of Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Medieval and Renaissance cultures by living and studying in three cities that embody these civilizations in all their richness and splendor: Tuscania, Rome and either Florence or Venice.
