Summer I

Summer I

AUR Summer Sessions allow students to engage their intellectual curiosity through onsite classes, field trips and cultural activities in the Eternal City. Six credits in 4 weeks are easily transferable back to a student’s home institution. A wide range of programs is offered in these short courses, from Archaeology through Business, Film & Digital Media to Italian Culture and Psychology. The aim of these courses is to provide both resident and visiting students with exciting learning experiences, whether they are looking to get ahead in their major or to discover and cultivate a new passion. These programs are fast-paced and intense and offer the opportunity to learn alongside inspiring faculty and classmates whilst also giving the chance to experience the amazing life of Rome by exploring the city's cultural and intellectual landscape in all its glory. Spend 4 weeks in Rome, earn 6 credits, and enjoy all that Italy has to offer.
