Custom and Architecture Programs
In some cases, US colleges and universities want to develop a study abroad program with a specialized curriculum in Rome they can call their own, with their own faculty and students. However they cannot always provide a diverse enough curriculum to offer students full-time study, nor do they have the resources to provide the student services and local emergency services required to ensure that their students have a safe and rewarding experience. The Pantheon Institute can assist in developing the right level of integration and independence for your study abroad program. In some cases your institution may simply want us to provide housing, student services, and an couple of courses, while your professor teach the rest using our classrooms. In such cases, we will come up with a customized program to fit your needs for the semester or summer session. The only conditions are that your students live in our dorms, take at least one or more courses with us during the semeser (for integration), and utilize our students services so that they can participate in our orientation, activities and take advantage of our services. Contact us with a proposal and we will be pleased to develop a program that works for everyone.
