VISITING PROFESSOR OPTION
In our most popular option, the Pantheon Institute welcomes students along with a home-school professor who teaches a course or two at the Institute for a semester or summer session. The course(s) taught by the visiting professor(s) is adopted as part of the Institute's offerings and open to all Pangtheon students. This fully integrates the visiting school's program into the Pantheon environment breaking the "travelling island with all students from the same school".

Your students may take your class, and complete a full-time curriculum choosing form the offerings at the Pantheon Instiute. All semester students must take Italian as part of the curriculum. And since the Pantheon Institute already has a full-service program including pick-up, housing, events and activities, emergency services, and more, developing an intergrated faculty-led program in Italy has never been easier.
