Advisor/Important notes:

  • Hybrid/Group Programs offer students the ability to learn alongside other global study students from US institutions at international study centers. Some hybrid/group programs allow students to enroll in a couple of courses at local universities, but a majority of these programs are taught by local faculty and professionals through an affiliated study abroad provider at their program’s academic center. These programs frequently offer courses that relate to the program location including language and culture classes, and they tend to focus less on STEM courses. On a vast majority of hybrid/group programs, students live with host families/homestays, providing them a great connection to the local culture.
  • This program has no language pre-requisite and a broad range of courses offered. Courses work well especially for Art history, Anthropology, classics, sociology, history, education, CIMS, English, writing, Religion, etc. 
  • Opportunities for internships in Business, NGOs, Art History, Classics, Political Science, Education, Media, and Archeology. 
  • In addition to the more general Internship seminar opportunity, there is a specific Internship seminar for Archaeological Excavation. 
  • Gettysburg students live in homestays through this program.

Program Highlights:

  • Rome will be your classroom. Can you imagine places like the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Forum, or the Colosseum being part of your education? IES Rome courses are experiential in nature, and we organize more than 150 course-related trips each semester to historic, artistic, and cultural sites that take advantage of the city’s many opportunities. An Italian language course at your proficiency level gives you the skills you need to navigate this city with ease.
  • Through this program, in addition to your IES Rome-taught courses, you have the opportunity to study at a local Italian University in Italian or English. 
  • Gain hands-on experience through an internship placement or a community-based learning/social action seminar.
