Study Abroad: July 4-31, 2008

Program Description

Stony Brook University offers students the opportunity to wake up to an enchanting view of ancient architecture: the Colosseum, St. Peter's Cathedral, Piazza Venezia, and other historic landmarks. Take a walk over to one of the several beautiful Roman beaches. This high quality study abroad program is modestly priced, which enables a wide range of participants to gain firsthand knowledge of contemporary Italy. A challenging academic program offers comprehensive understanding of Italian culture, history, heritage and traditions.

The artistic traditions and present-day cultural vitality of Rome offers students numerous opportunities for personal enrichment. In conjunction with the art history classes, visits will be made to the city's artistic and historical landmarks. Weekends will be spent on cultural excursions exploring the richness of Italy outside of Rome.

Historically, Rome has few peers. Whether you are a student in the arts, humanities, architecture, social sciences, international business, or any other major, Rome is the ideal city in which to learn, live, and explore.

"The Eternal City," is not only rich in history and culture, but it is also a thriving modern metropolis. Rome offers students a multitude of opportunities for personal enrichment.
