Description

In the tradition of the American liberal arts education, St. John International University (SJIU) offers students study abroad programs, in English, in a variety of the arts and sciences. The academic program is tailored to the school's location. Torino was chosen as the site of this international program because of its solid reputation as a European business center, its avant-garde achievements in both research and art, and its architectural wealth. The SJIU main campus was established in the Vinovo castle in order to expose students to the culture of local Italian life and the castle's 16th beauty.

St. John offers a wide selection of general education and upper-level credits in the following areas of study: architecture, art history, environmental sciences, political science, business, economics, history, Italian language and culture, film studies, computer science, sociology, religious studies, and modern languages and literature.

Highlights

By enrolling at SJIU students will be exposed both to the local flavor of Vinovo, where the main campus is located, and also the culture and vibrancy of Torino--the beauty and elegance of its artistic and cultural treasures and those of the Region of Piedmont with its rich history, castles and the royal villas of the Savoia Kingdom. Students will also discover the gastronomical richness of the region as well as the diverse climate: from the nearby Mediterranean coast, to the vineyards of the Langhe region, to the snow-topped Alps.
