Welcome to a Unique Study Abroad Experience
John Cabot University offers visiting students from around the world a unique experience in study abroad.
It’s not just a program; it’s not just a venue; it’s not just a collection of courses for study abroad students. JCU is an independent, accredited four-year college of liberal arts and sciences, with an outstanding faculty, an international degree-seeking student body and over 200 courses from which to choose. Travel in Italy, classes on site at famous monuments and museums throughout the city and a range of extra-curricular activities are just some of the advantages of John Cabot’s program.
This is your chance to add an exciting and rewarding dimension to your education – to have a study abroad semester or year totally unlike any other available in Italy, or perhaps anywhere. Here you will experience several cultures at once.
The culture of an American university, with classes (except Italian language and literature) taught in English; the international atmosphere of a global mix of students of varying backgrounds and nationalities; the incomparable Roman milieu combining centuries of history and art with up-to-the-minute style. No wonder the phrase our study abroad students use most often is: “It changed my life!”
Students visiting from the United States meet others from Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as Italian degree-seeking students.
Lively exchanges of views and perspectives take place in small classroom settings and on the terraces of the charming ex-convent that is John Cabot’s main campus. Cross-cultural friendships develop in the abundant coffee bars and trattorie of Trastevere where JCU is located.
Study Abroad students typically share rooms in the characteristic apartments in the area.
Total immersion in the Roman way of life brings new understanding and appreciation of how others live. |
