Description

Since its establishment in 1966, Temple University Rome has provided 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 six-week summer session comprised of undergraduate courses in architecture, art, art history, business, classics, dance, English, geography and urban studies, history and Italian language, as well as internships. The program is open to qualified students matriculated at U.S. colleges and universities.

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.
