Faculty program advisor: C. Lawton
The ACM Florence Program focuses on Renaissance painting, sculpture, architecture, history, and literature. Italian language instruction, a studio art course, and courses providing a broad perspective on Italian contributions to world civilization facilitate study of the Florentine artistic and cultural heritage.
Visits to museums and galleries, short field trips to other cities throughout Italy, and discussions with local scholars supplement the coursework. Students are also placed in a home stay to facilitate language development.
The program is only offered for a fall semester. No previous language study is required. Previous coursework in art history is recommended. Students interested in a winter term-only program should see the ACM London and Florence: Arts in Context program. For more information: ACM Florence
