In our Art History Program, you can choose from a series of courses on Art History (from Ancient to Baroque), Conservation, and so much more. All our courses feature numerous faculty-led visits to museums, sites, and monuments. Imagine studying the work of Michelangelo in class and then visiting the Vatican to see the Sistine Chapel as part of your coursework!
Once you’ve applied for a program, I’ll be your direct point of contact. From housing to course registration and everything in between, I’m here to help you prepare to study abroad. Once you’re accepted to your program, you’ll find even more detailed information about what you need to know before you depart in your Predeparture Guide. Let’s get started!
When you think about art history, you think about Rome and Italy. From the massive advances achieved by the Roman Empire in art and architecture, through the works of the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century (think Michelangelo and Raphael) to today (with striking modern architecture by Renzo Piano) Rome has, very literally, millennia of artistic and architectural treasures, triumphs, and trends to study.
Studying abroad is hectic; it's okay to spend some time by yourself.
Share an apartment with other IES Abroad students and have the option of living with an Italian Student Companion (ISC), a local Italian student who provides opportunities to engage in cultural activities. Apartments are furnished, single-sex, and generally accommodate four to seven students, with two to three IES Abroad students sharing a bedroom. Internet access is available in every apartment. Meals are not included, but apartments offer equipped kitchens.
