Description

Bordered just to the north by Tuscany and the south by the metropolitan area of Rome, Viterbo is a medieval city of 65,000 rich in historical, artistic and monumental legacies, while offering plenty of social and recreational opportunities. With a lively university community and active art scene, Viterbo is a bustling modern town located approximately one and half hours from Rome and Florence, with easy connections to the Mediterranean and Mountain regions.

The Viterbo program is ideal for students interested in studying Italian, History, Art, Journalism, or Environmental Studies. Viterbo provides students with an exciting setting to study and practice the Italian language and to experience its rich culture away from English-speaking tourist areas.

The summer Viterbo program offers two, four-week sessions. Each includes an optional four-day visit of southern Italy offered between sessions. You may participate in one or both of the sessions. This program is ideal for those unable to participate in semester or yearlong programs.
