In a location where social interaction and collaborative learning drive the curriculum, you’ll achieve a deeper understanding of Italian life by selecting courses in subjects such as business, engineering, history, philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies, and you can also take advantage of the Italian language courses which are offered at all levels to help hone your language skills.

Where You'll Study

Students take classes at the CEA CAPA Rome Center and optionally at our partner institution, the Providence College Center. Courses at the CEA CAPA Rome Center are taught in English and allow you to explore and experience all that the Eternal City has to offer. The CEA CAPA Rome Center is in the vibrant Prati neighborhood, within walking distance of Vatican City, Castel Sant’Angelo, and other UNESCO World Heritage sites. This central location makes it easy to visit galleries, museums, art studios, local businesses, historic sites, food markets, and more—all designed to bring lessons taught in the classroom to life. Our unique collaboration with Providence College allows you to take semester courses at the Providence College Center and study theology and religion in the very heart of Christendom. Long a religious and cultural crossroads, Rome is the ideal place to delve into religious studies as you explore significant sites such as St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Catacombs of Santa Priscilla. Students will receive a transcript from CEA CAPA’s School of Record, and - if opted for a PC course – also from Providence College upon completion of their program.
