The villa has a complete range of facilities, including a library, student lounge, and computer center. Surrounded by its own garden, the campus is close to major parks in Rome. The university has an international enrollment of approximately 250 students each year, and its faculty come from leading educational, business, and government centers throughout Europe and the United States. Academic Program Highlights Students may take 12-16 credits in a variety of disciplines, including one required course in Italian language, which is offered at all levels, from beginning through advanced. No previous knowledge of Italian is required, and the language of instruction is in English or Italian, depending on the student's proficiency.
Classes are small, with emphasis on student-teacher interaction.
A limited number of internships for students fluent in Italian can be arranged upon request and are offered at international law firms, multinational companies, and international organizations like the Fulbright Commission. A 2.5 GPA, official transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose are necessary for admission to the program. Students are responsible for their own meals.
