Description

Siena Italian Studies is a study abroad program based at the International Center for Intercultural Exchange in Siena, Italy. SIS's programs are a "gentle full-immersion" in Italian life for highly motivated beginners, intermediate and advanced Italian language students. SIS offers some of the most innovative programs in Italy that work to fully integrate the education of language, culture and service-learning, in and out of the classroom.

Highlights

SIS's programs are intended for students with a wide range of motivation for studying abroad. From acquiring a mastery of the Italian language, to using a local Renaissance chapel as your art history classroom, to working alongside the city's volunteer medical assistance team, Siena Italian Studies provides you with the means to create an unforgettable experience abroad.

Siena is one of Tuscany's most celebrated cities and has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Students who participate on SAI's Italian Studies program will find themselves surrounded by the exquisite art, architecture and cultural treasures offered by Siena and her surroundings.
