I grew in so much confidence in Italian and in my Art History knowledge and passion. My professors were so affirming and my friends were so encouraging. I also have decided that living in another country is in my possibility and that I would actually enjoy it maybe more than living in America.

A knowledge of a different culture and cultural norms (and appreciation for the food and language). An understanding of what makes me comfortable and uncomfortable in a new environment. Flexibility. It was absolutely worthwhile. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned to take things as they come and enjoy every moment of life. It was definitely worthwhile. julia.delay.50 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
About
Spend six weeks learning about Italian life, art, and culture in the fascinating, historic city of Florence. Based at the Accademia Italiana in Florence, one of Europe’s premier institutes for art and design, your classes will take place in two beautiful renaissance buildings directly across from the famous Pitti Palace in Florence's Oltrarno district, just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio - an inspiring and enchanting place to be.
The exuberant country of Italy is your summer home and you’ll get to know the people, places, and traditions. Even students with no prior study of Italian language will benefit from this innovative, vibrant program. You’ll take three to seven credits chosen from an array of courses in liberal arts, studio art, fashion design, and design, including Italian language at all levels. A wide range of activities and excursions are available, including exploration of the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany; and hidden areas of Italy, for off-the-beaten-track, authentic experiences. A wealth of art, architecture, and landscapes await you!
