Semester in Rome

Delve deeply into the roots of the Western tradition by spending a semester living and studying in Rome, one of Europe’s most exciting and historic cities. The “Eternal City” has much to offer students exploring the foundations of Christianity, the arts, history, literature and philosophy. This unique, integrated humanities experience employs Rome — and much of Italy — as its classroom while students explore some of the world’s finest churches, art galleries, historic sites and museums.

Geneva College has historically placed high value on the study of the humanities and expanding the curriculum to Rome broadens that tradition in exciting ways.  Imagine the power of learning about the early church while visiting catacombs a block away from where you live; pondering the ideals of the Renaissance while climbing up into Michelangelo’s dome atop St. Peter’s Basilica; or contemplating the tragedy of Pompeii as you wander through its empty villas. Even these experiences only scratch the surface of what study in Italy has to offer.

Geneva College’s program is distinctive because it intentionally integrates faith and learning. It is also the only semester-long program in Rome offered by a member institution of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).
