Program Overview

Spend your summer in Milan, a vibrant center for the arts and Italy’s business and fashion capital. Located near the Ligurian Coast and lake district of Northern Italy, Milan is defined by an elegant combination of Italian style and modern innovation.

From illustrated lectures and group research to field trips and exchanges with local experts, this program will bring your studies to life and help you reach your academic goals.

Outside the classroom, you’ll participate in two-day trips beyond the city’s limits, complementing your Milanese experience with a taste of the region’s rich history, vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and iconic landmarks. Come make Milan your classroom!
