Each semester, visiting Italian architects lecture on aspects of modern and contemporary Italian architecture. A field trip is conducted in the Seminar Studio course and the architecture studio includes individual work spaces. The program is offered as an option in Temple's accredited five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree and permits study in Rome in either the third or fourth year, fall or spring semester. The Landscape Architecture program is offered in fall semesters only and is open to students in their senior year. Non-Temple architecture majors are welcome, following the regular admissions process, including a portfolio review by Temple Architecture faculty.
Admission is competitive and subject to the availability of studio space.
Architecture students normally enroll for the design studio and the accompanying theory seminar. Courses are taught by distinguished Italian architects and visiting faculty. The International Business program provides an opportunity for undergraduate students of business to study international business in a major European capital. During the spring semester, the emphasis is on international finance and economics. One economics and two finance courses are offered.
