Umbra offers semester, summer and all-year study abroad programs for students enrolled at US and international colleges and universities. The build-your-semester option allows students to customize their academic experience by choosing courses that best fit their curricular needs and interests. For students looking for a more focused experience, they can organize their semester program around a specific curricular concentration or participate in one of our thematic programs. For students interested in the Italian language or studying at an Italian university, Umbra offers a number of direct-enroll options with local universities and art schools. Credit-bearing internships are highly selective and available for semester and summer experience. Need more info on our programs? Contact us using the form below.
What could be better than spending the summer in Italy while earning valuable course credit? Umbra offers two summer sessions. The first session is 5-weeks from mid-May through June. The second session is 4-weeks in the month of July. Umbra also offers a 6-week archaeological field school program in Castiglione del Lago at a newly discovered Roman dig site on the Umbrian-Tuscany border and a 6-week immersive Italian language program. As always, cultural activities, co-curricular excursions, and travel are all part of the Umbra experience. Need more info on our programs?
