Architecture Studio Program | ISI Florence

All courses are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) through the School of Architecture and Historic Preservation at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Of course! In fact, they're equipped with:

• a design computing laboratory, architecture library, modeling studio, and exhibition gallery;
• annually updated software packages in the design-computing laboratory, including the complete Autodesk Suite, Adobe Design Premium Creative Suite, standard printers & 3D printer; and
• individual tables and workspace; hours extended to midnight, seven days a week.

Of course! You will learn to balance your academic commitments with independent excursions (either during three-day weekends or your semester break). At ISI Florence, we recognize that a key aspect of study abroad is the time and opportunity that you have to develop your independence through adventures throughout Italy and beyond.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT BOOK INDEPENDENT TRAVEL UNTIL AFTER YOU ARRIVE IN ITALY.

Community Engagement encourages learners to integrate with their host community and create a connection with the local culture. This can be done through ISI Florence’s variety of seminar & practicum courses, internship options, or volunteering opportunities. Not only do these options help you connect with the city of Florence and its vibrant community, but they can also help you develop cultural competencies and gain invaluable career experiences

ISI Florence offers a comprehensive health & safety orientation that spans from pre-departure materials to arrival orientation. The Institute maintains a 24/7 emergency support number that students can call from Florence or during their independent travel. Our team can also provide the contact details for local, English-speaking medical professionals, including counselors and therapists experienced with working with international students.
