Academic Program and Activities Find out why you want to go to Italy. See the best of northern Italy in two weeks learning about Italian culture, film, history, archeology and the roots of Western civilization. We are nearly 100% on-site learning in Italy; we finish class work online during the summer. This course is designed for all majors and in the past there have been students from every college on campus and majors ranging from business, family and consumer sciences, history and elementary education, to name a few. What unites the group is an interest in “all thing Italy.” All years from first year up through graduating seniors are welcome. And every student, regardless of the number of credit hours already taken, can get credit for their senior seminar on this study tour. (Honors credit for senior seminar is available.)
We visit Genoa, Rome, Florence, Siena and Venice. We stay at 3 and 4 star hotels. Some meals are included. Breakfast is provided at our hotels. Highlights include: Michelangelo’s David, Roman Coliseum tour, wine tasting in Tuscany, boat tour through the canals of Venice. If you want to continue your travel independently, you can stay in Europe after the trip and fly home from Paris, London or Greece. Flights are booked separately but students will have the opportunity to discuss independent travel with other members of the group or fly to Italy and back home from Italy with the group. On-campus orientation in March. This experience is an extremely small group and it is limited to twelve students maximum. "Studying abroad in Italy was a life changing experience for me. It opened up my eyes to new people, new food, new cultures, new everything! I am so happy to have been fortunate enough to go because it was one of the best trips I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend The Good Life in Italy because you will never forget it!" "This program was such an amazing experience that was life-changing. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go while they have the chance to experience another culture." "You definitely get your money's worth and it's the perfect amount of time to go abroad, not too long or too short. It's designed very well to give you a full look at the Italian culture."
