Program Highlights
Relevant Fieldwork
Courses are designed to include focused fieldwork and integrated excursions that directly relate to the in-class experience.
Cohort Housing

Academic Success
With a smaller student body, students will have the opportunity to develop relationships with faculty and peers to ensure success inside and outside the classroom.
Courses
The courses below are a sample of what is offered at the American University of Rome and are specifically chosen for first-year programming. Not all courses are available during both fall and spring semesters. Please ask your representative for more information regarding course availability and additional course options.
On-Site Support

Options include cooking lessons, guided tours of the Capitoline Museums, a visit to a gelato factory, guided tours of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill, a walking tour of the famous fountains in the city and more.
