The Pantheon Institute in Rome, Italy

Summer Session in Rome

Classes are out, your friends have left for prestigious internships, and home life just doesn’t sound that appealing. What better way to give a jolt to your summer than spending a month in Italy? A summer in Rome has all the right ingredients: imagine licking a cool cone of gelato while throwing a coin into the Fontana di Trevi, reading un po’ di Dante as you

stroll along the Tiber, or practicing your Italian skills with friends in Piazza del Popolo.

The Pantheon Istitute’s summer program gives you a chance to do all that and more. The summer session consists of a 7-week academic program that offers a variety of exciting courses in art history, architecture, Italian studies, interdisciplinary studies, and studio arts.

Unlike the semester program, enrollment in an Italian language class is not required. Students may choose to participate fully in the curricular concentration programs listed below, or create their own program from our summer offerings. All courses can be taken individually with the except architecture engineering which must be taken as the full program below. All students must meet the prerequisites.
