Study Abroad Program Info

Accademia Italiana offers study abroad programs for US university students in the fall and spring semesters and in the summer. Students are also welcome to study abroad with us for a full academic year.

Study abroad students can take classes in any of our design-related areas of study (Fashion Design, Interior and Product Design, Graphic Design, Photography and New Media and Jewelry Design), alongside our ongoing students. We also offer Studio Art and Liberal Arts classes that provide an opportunity to learn about Italian art, history, culture and language.

Fall and spring study abroad students normally take 4 or 5 classes during the semester, which count for 3 academic credits each except for Italian, which provides 4 credits.  

The summer program begins in the second week of June and is 6 weeks long. Students can take Intensive Fashion Design or Intensive Italian Product Design, each for 6 credits, or they can select two classes from among our summer offerings.  

Please visit the Academics section for course listings and descriptions.

All of our study abroad programs include a comprehensive orientation, trips and excursions, and a housing placement service at no additional fee.

Information on dates, fees and deadlines can be found here and application information here.
