The Centro鈥檚 curriculum focuses on learning on-site. The central course,听听takes students to archaeological sites and museums virtually every class day. Students experience lessons in the Forum, below the Vatican, at hidden gems around Italy 鈥� in other words, the Roman world is the classroom.
We take the show on the road 鈥� next year, to Southern France and the Bay of Naples. 听In addition to day-trips from Rome, the Centro hits the road three times through the semester, experiencing听听and听.听

In short, engagement with the raw stuff of history is central to the program鈥檚 ethos, and, thanks to the Rome staff鈥檚 connections, Centristi get into places that few (if any) other groups are allowed to tread.
The Centro has a policy of meeting every student鈥檚 financial need. We want to share the Centro鈥檚 unique experience with as many students as possible. 听Students can receive more than $25,000 in financial aid when they demonstrate need through a FAFSA.听
Beyond 鈥淭he Ancient City,鈥� the Centro offers Greek and Latin at the intermediate and advanced levels, yet experience with Latin or ancient Greek is not required for the program. 听Our course offerings extend to Elementary Italian, Renaissance/Baroque Art History, and Conservation. 听Additionally, we offer an internship with the archaeological study collection at the American Academy in Rome.
Overall, the Centro provides your opportunity to study abroad in Ancient Rome.
