ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This 36-credit-hour Master’s degree focuses on the arts of Rome, Italy, and the Mediterranean, from antiquity to the present. Students obtain a broad base in current art-historical method and practice through first-hand engagement with art objects, built environments, and archival documentation in Rome and in other parts of Italy and Europe. They also develop a deeper concentration in an area of their choosing through an MA thesis and professional internship.

“These past two years have been the most exhilarating, challenging, memorable, thought-provoking, interesting, and rewarding years of my life. I have my invaluable professors and amazing colleagues to thank for making my time in Italy at John Cabot University so fulfilling.”
