The opportunities are endless
The Institute offers courses in art history, Italian studies, literature, history, political science, international business and economics, psychology, visual arts, writing, and other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
Most courses are taught in English, a select few are conducted in Italian, and all incorporate a focus on Italy. Whenever possible, the material learned in class is supplemented by on-site study in Florence and other destinations in Italy.
