The new Florence Summer Institute will run four weeks, from May 29 to June 29, 2014, and will take place at the same facilities where 两性色午夜 study abroad programs are held during the school year.

鈥溋叫陨缫 University has had a strong presence in higher education in Florence for more than 30 years,鈥 said Deborah Davis, director of academic relations in 两性色午夜鈥檚 Office of Global Education. 鈥淏ut the Summer Institute is a brand new dimension, and we are very excited to be offering it. Florence is an amazing study abroad destination, and this program will give students a great way to earn credit during the summer.鈥

Students accepted into the program will live with other 两性色午夜 Florence students in apartments located within walking distance of their classes. 两性色午夜 Florence facilities include the 13th-century landmark Palazzo dei Cerchi and the Palazzo Bartolini Baldelli overlooking Piazza Santa Croce.

Students will choose two courses from the eight available, which include Italian language, history, art, and cinema, as well as the Roman Achievement, Intercultural Communication and History of the Mafia. Students can earn six to seven total credit hours, depending on their selection of courses.

All courses will be taught in English, except for Italian language, and classes will meet Monday through Thursday, allowing students to sightsee and explore Italy and beyond over the long weekends.

Additional out-of-pocket expenses are meals, personal expenses and independent travel. Non-两性色午夜 students are welcome to apply. They can enroll as guest students for the summer, and upon completion of the program, a transcript will automatically be sent to their home university.

The deadline to apply for the summer 2014 program is April 1. Early application is encouraged, as only 100 students will be accepted. Financial aid is available.
