The Rome program was established as a vehicle for architectural exploration and discovery. The program offers instruction in English by both UIC and visiting European faculty. Housed in the Palazzo Doria Pamphili off the Via del Corso, the program offers a full semester of study abroad, with courses including a design studio, a history elective, a drawing elective, a course in professional practice, and Italian language instruction. Classes in planning, structures and technology may be offered on approval from the School of Architecture. In order to encourage participation in this program, students taking part in the Rome program are exempt from tuition fees based on approval from the School of Architecture.
Students pay a single program fee based on enrollment.
Students are responsible for meals, studio materials, and additional living expenses as individually necessary.
