Because lectures and seminars are entirely in Italian, a six-week preliminary program in Italian language and culture will make sure you’re up to speed, capisce?
A Rutgers faculty member will be your Program Director, and will live in-country throughout the year to help advise you.

    Florence—Firenze in Italian—is a city of everyday magic. You can walk down one street and end up in front of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus at the Uffizi Gallery, then go down another and taste the best gelato ever. The best way to take advantage of all the opportunities in Florence is to spend a full year living and studying there. At the University of Florence, one of the oldest universities in Europe, you'll find friends and faculty who can help deepen your understanding of this city of treasures.



    Living in Tuscany, you’ll discover leather in colors you never knew existed and flavors of olive oil you never imagined. Sooner or later, everyone ends up gushing about their meals—the fresh seafood, handmade pasta, local tomatoes—you can’t resist. And here’s a true story: one student earned all her fun money by playing guitar in the Piazza San Giovanni. Things like that seem to happen in Florence.

    Live in a flat or stay with a host family—it’s up to you. The renowned art and architecture will keep you exploring the city, but the famous Florentine nightlife and frequent weekend trips to nearby sites give you a clue that you’ll never see all of Italy—but what a way to start!
