The School of Art offers an exceptional opportunity to study in Italy at the Orvieto International Institute of Classical Studies.
The Institute is located in the central town square of Orvieto, one of the most beautiful and historic locations in all of Italy. Perched dramatically on a massive plateau, you will study in a city with picturesque views, stunning architecture, and unique cultural traditions.
Archaeological sites such as Underground Orvieto, the Crocefisso del Tufo Etruscan cemetery and the Cannicella ruins of Etruscan, Roman, and Late Antique civilizations are nearby.
Courses are taught in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. All courses are in English with professors alternating each semester. Past offerings have included:
Etruscan Art and Archaeology
Disegno: Drawing and Invention
Picture Book Art & Design
Studio Art
Art and the Classical Ideal
Many other study abroad opportunities exist through the Office of International Student Programs & Services. In addition to operating its own programs, Study Abroad counsels students on study abroad programs run by other American universities, private companies, and foreign universities. It also offers an extensive library of literature and videotapes on specific programs.
Always check with your Academic Advisor to verify how units will apply to your degree program. When you are abroad, you can maintain contact with your Academic Advisor in the School of Art.
