IFSA - IFSA STUDY IN ROME

WHY STUDY IN ROME?
An ancient but cosmopolitan city, Rome is more than 3,000 years old. Modern apartments and businesses are located side-by-side with historic fountains and ancient ruins in this city of 2.8 million residents. As a top tourist destination and top study abroad location, Rome is one of the world’s most-visited cities and a vibrant European business center. Walk by ancient Roman city walls, stop for a quick espresso, and admire spectacular works of art—all on your way to class.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
If you’re ready to start exploring, this is the program for you! While making Rome your home, you’ll feel empowered to take a seat at the table and find your voice among other influencers. Classes and internships are designed to prepare you for your future role in local and global networks.

Ideal for students majoring in business, communications, political science, social sciences, sustainability studies, and more.
