Yes! AMU offers a study abroad program in Italy which focuses on furthering student academic and spiritual growth. In partnership with Thomas More College, we send a group of students to Rome for the fall and spring semesters every year. For just under three months, students live in a gated, private villa within walking distance of some of the most beautiful cultural entities in the world.
Being in proximity to the Vatican and a wealth of Catholic churches and chapels, students have every opportunity to pray and join in the celebration of Mass.
Five courses are offered while studying in Rome: Literature, Humanities, and Art & Architecture count toward students’ general electives, while Theology and Philosophy count toward the core curriculum. Many of the faculty and staff are from Thomas More College; adjunct professors are secured as needed. Classes meet four days a week, while long weekends encourage independent travel around Rome and other parts of Italy and nearby countries.
