Immerse Yourself in Florence and Experience Contemporary Italian Culture

Two exciting study abroad opportunities are available to NC State students who seek to study and live in the city known as the "Birthplace of the Renaissance." Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been ranked world’s top twenty-five cities. The "Italian Society and Culture Program" (Fall) and the "University Scholars Summer Program in Florence enables students the opportunity to live the Italian life while attending classes at Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute. Non-NC State students are also eligible to apply for the Fall Program.

The "Italian Society and Culture Program" offers the chance to spend an entire academic semester studying and living in Florence’s Historic Center. This four month program allows ample time to take in the remarkable sights of Florence and to travel widely throughout Italy. Students take one required course on "Contemporary Italian Culture and Society," which transfers for credit to NC State. Students choose their other courses from the wide range of classes available at the Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute. English is the language of instruction.
