Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements to apply?
All students applying to SRISA must meet the following requirements:
- Students must be at least 18 years of age.
- Students must have a high school diploma or equivalent G.E.D.
- Students must have maintained a 2.5 GPA in all college work attempted.
- Students must submit their most recent transcript (either high school or college transcripts) to the Admissions Office along with their application.
Do I need to have previous art experience or an art background?
No, it is not necessary to have any previous art experience. Although many of our students are art majors, SRISA welcomes students from varied backgrounds who wish to receive an introduction to art or participate in our Liberal Arts program.
How do I make sure the SRISA courses transfer to my home university?
Speak with your study abroad office, advisor, or registrar's office to check if your University accepts the SRISA transcript directly or if they require the transcript from our school of record, Maryville University in St. Louis. Many Universities require students to complete a course equivalency form for approval before departure. You may request syllabi from us to assist with this process.
Do I have to know Italian before studying in Florence?
You don't need any prior knowledge of Italian before joining us. While studying in Florence, all students may take Italian classes tailored to their proficiency level.
