Description

Study Abroad Italy (SAI) is proud to offer US students the opportunity to attend John Cabot University. JCU is a four-year American university located in Trastevere, a charming and historic neighborhood in the heart of Rome. Students from all over the world come to JCU for a semester abroad, summer session, or to pursue their Bachelor of Arts degrees in Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences or International Business.

Founded in 1972, today JCU is a unique, accredited independent university with American roots and a distinctively international character. John Cabot students come from all over the world. At any given time, approximately 50 different countries are represented. People from varied backgrounds, different faiths, all continents and all races make up the student body and provide a rich and unique opportunity for true international communication and understanding.

Highlights

The main campus of JCU is situated near St. Peter's and the Vatican in the Trastevere quarter, with a fine arts annex on the opposite side of the Tiber River. The central Rome location means that students are literally surrounded by the history and art of thousands of years. John Cabot's strategic position in this world center of diplomacy, combined with the unique relationship enjoyed with leading multinational corporations, embassies, media and international organizations, also gives JCU students the opportunity to participate in exclusive internship programs.
