Overview

Click to Open

Situated along the Tiber River in the central-western region of Italy, The Eternal City beckons those whose passion for food, art, culture, and history is inexhaustible. Wake up each day to Italy's beauty and Old World charm, from dazzling azure coasts and majestic snow-capped mountains to urban centers that never cease to delight with their architectural wonders and warm, welcoming locals.

Situated in the heart of Italy's historic capital, CIEE Rome offers a wide selection of courses that attract students from all academic disciplines, from liberal arts and science majors to engineering, pre-med, and business school students. The city is your classroom, and you will take classes inside the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, and the Italian Parliament to delve into the heroes and heroines who once walked the streets of Rome and shaped its destiny. Outside the classroom, you're encouraged to explore some of the world's most breathtaking cultural destinations, like the Vatican, Saint Peter's Basilica, and the Spanish Steps. Taste the freshness of authentic Italian cuisine and learn to replicate your new favorite dishes from the ingredients you gathered in the famous Campo de' Fiori's markets.

Experience Rome on your terms by customizing your study abroad experience on the Open Campus Block program. Take one, two, or three six-week blocks, and select your courses from various subject areas. Whether you spend one six-week block in The Eternal City – or up to 18 – you're sure to have an unforgettable time.

Location & Culture

Rome is simply a one-of-a-kind destination. Once the center of Western civilization, and with a history spanning almost 3,000 years, Rome houses some of the world’s most-visited attractions. It also includes Vatican City, an independent country within Rome’s boundaries and the seat of the Pope, not to mention the home to the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel. Thanks to its unparalleled beauty, Rome repeatedly hosts international movie productions – more recently for “The House of Gucci,” the upcoming “Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning,” and Angelina Jolie’s “Without Blood.”  

CIEE Rome occupies the main floor of the prestigious Palazzo Capizucchi and it is a short walk from some of the main landmarks of the city, such as the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. 

CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in Rome.

Academic Culture

Each six-week course is a full semester in content, so the pace is accelerated, and the workload is demanding. CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. The class environment typically features a combination of traditional lecture and discussion with co-curricular excursions and activities. Heavy emphasis is placed on student participation. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Rome when classes are in session and plan trips for the long weekends in between blocks. 

Class Format

Courses taught at CIEE Rome are typically for CIEE students only. Classes are scheduled Monday-Thursday and meet three  times per week (besides language courses that meet four times per week), and attendance is strictly enforced both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. Students should expect an average of two hours of preparation required for each hour in class. Instruction is supported and augmented online by our learning management system, Canvas. Some courses may be facilitated as a Hybrid course by an instructor from a location that is separate from your own. In a Hybrid course, you will learn either face-to-face or online, depending on your location. Courses at the local university, Roma Tre, are taken with Italian and other international students. 

Grading

The U.S. grading scale of A-F is used. Students’ grades are based on attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. 

Individual courses may have additional prerequisites; for CIEE courses, these are listed in the syllabi below. Students are responsible for having their own course approval conversations with their advisors.
