Program Overview

Program Description:

The Italy program offers courses in Art, Video Production, Art History, Journalism and Mass Communications and Italian Culture. Courses will take advantage of the cultural and artistic resources available in Rome and Florence to integrate traditional classroom learning with firsthand experiences.

The Italy program is a five-week program. All students are encouraged to explore and highlight their Tuscan experience by sharing their discoveries with the group. Courses are designed to integrate classroom learning with cultural excursions to museums, art galleries, and ancient ruins. The four-day class week provides students ample time for independent weekend travel.

The city becomes both the classroom and the subject matter of the courses. Credits for the courses are awarded through Western Kentucky University and are transferred to the student's home institutions.

Setting Description:

The KIIS summer program in Italy begins in the beautiful Tuscan city of Florence and ends in the country’s magnificent capital, Rome.
