You must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by your home and host institutions, for the duration of the program to satisfy our enrollment policy and avoid potential visa implications. Credit transfer is ultimately determined by your home university.

Upon program completion, you will receive a transcript issued directly from the Università IULM (IULM). The transcripts from the IULM will reflect contact hours.

Per semester, you'll enroll in 4 - 5 courses for a total of 192 - 240 contact hours.

There is no language prerequisite for this program. However, if you have not completed a college semester of Italian language or the equivalent, you are strongly encouraged to take an Italian language course while on this program. Italian courses are offered in the intermediate level in the fall and post-intermediate level in the spring. You will have the opportunity to enroll in a pre-session 2-week intensive Italian language course for an additional cost.

Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change. Eligibility for courses may be subject to a placement exam and/or prerequisites. Course availability is based on enrollment numbers. We suggest seeking pre-approval for alternate courses in the event of class cancellations. If you require sample syllabi, reach out using the Contact Us button.

Enrollment in Italian courses is determined by the results of a language placement exam administered by the host university. Please note that your performance on the placement exam may not reflect the number of semesters of language instruction you've already completed at your home university.

We strongly suggest that if you are trying to place into any level of language beyond true beginning prepare for the language placement exam by reviewing previous coursework.
