Rome
It's your chance to walk in the footsteps of history...
For more than 2,000 years, Rome has stood at the crossroads of cultural, political and religious significance for the whole world. The "Eternal City" is an ideal destination for an education that will prepare you for today's interconnected global marketplace.
Founded in 1962, the John Felice Rome Center is the oldest U.S. university program in Rome. History and culture will come alive in your classroom discussions and on-site excursions—and you’ll see the true Italy that mere visitors rarely see.
At the JFRC, you can enjoy all the excitement of a location convenient to the bustling historic center of the city, while living and attending class in a residential Roman neighborhood away from the tourist throng. It's the best of both worlds.
History at your doorstep
The Colosseum. The Forum. The Pantheon. The Sistine Chapel. St. Peter's. And those are just a start. Winding, cobblestoned alleyways with buildings draped in ivy and bouganvillea. Pizza topped with fresh mozzarella hot from a wood-fired oven. Locals gathering at a neighborhood coffee bar to chat or watch the soccer game. We could go on, but you'll discover much more when you get here.
Rome is a central hub with easy access to the rest of Italy, all of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It's your doorway to a semester of adventure and a fully immersive study abroad experience. Whether cycling through wine country or exploring thousands of years of history, we can help you find your way.
Engaged learning
Part of the magic of studying overseas is participating in - not just observing - life in an entirely new culture. Our internship programs and volunteer opportunities will inspire you, teach you, and connect you to the local community.
Hands-on History
Our professors take full advantage of their surroundings to turn Rome into a living classroom. Many courses have an on-site component. This means you’ll venture off campus with your professor to visit the Vatican, explore the Colosseum, and marvel at ancient Roman ruins.
