An educationally rewarding academic program in a friendly and safe foreign environment! This semester in Rome program allows you to study within a variety of academic areas and experience all that life in the Eternal City has to offer.

The Semester in Rome program takes place at the Pantheon Institute, whose windows open to the glorious exterior of the Pantheon. For almost 3 millennia the city has withstood natural disaster, internal strife, and multiple wars to emerge glorious and indomitable. Rome is unique with its rich history. Today it conveys a paradoxical blend of old and new, and enchants even the most stoic visitor.

Museums, monuments, and concerts galore – Spend a semester taking in everything you've read, seen, and dreamed about in history books: the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Cathedral, and the Pantheon.

A wide variety of courses – Semester in Rome offers a variety of exciting courses in architecture, art history, human development and family studies, Italian studies, nutrition, and more.
