UA Rome Center
The University of Arkansas Rome Center is housed in the historic Palazzo Taverna, just minutes from the Vatican, Piazza Navona and the Pantheon--some of the most important architectural and cultural sites in the Western world. Students live close to the school in a secure and safe neighborhood with 24/7 on-site support, tracing the paths of ancient Romans and centuries of Christian pilgrims as they make their way to classes each day. These top 10-ranked study abroad programs provide broad curriculum focused on the history and life of the city itself, extending learning beyond the classroom. Site visits and excursions enrich the cultural experience with site-specific coursework in small group settings. All University of Arkansas credit counts toward student GPAs.
