Please review the CGPS COVID-19 Updates page before applying to a study abroad program.
All applicants must have a valid passport by the program’s application deadline. Your passport’s expiration date must be more than six months after the program ends. If you do not have a current passport, apply through the U.S. State Department. It takes an average of 8-11 weeks (2-3 months) to process a passport.
The University will continue to monitor the ongoing situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) as we approach the departure date for this program. Please reach out to your program coordinator or faculty director with questions and continue to monitor the UD coronavirus webpage for updates.
If UD decides to cancel a study abroad program, we will communicate directly with affected students. In this case, the University of Delaware will reimburse the cost of program fees and tuition.
Traveling and studying abroad during a global pandemic poses new challenges and requires accepting a higher level of uncertainty than in the past. Students who choose to study abroad at this time must be prepared to adapt to the evolving situation and must take responsibility to act in accordance with the rules, regulations, and recommendations of UD, their program leadership, and legal authorities of their home and host country. Due to the rapidly changing and unpredictable global and local response to COVID-19, these rules, regulations and recommendations are subject to change at any time. |

| Program Description | |
| |
Studying Italian in Siena, an amazing city situated in the region of Tuscany, Italy, and rich in traditions and culture, is the most important thing that students can do to improve their skills in learning a language.
Based at the Dante Alighieri School, you’ll interact with Italian students as you study Italian. In addition, you’ll learn about Italian everyday life, Italian Art, Italian culinary art, Italian fashion through the excursions to Florence, Pompei, and Rome.
If UD study abroad travel policies allow, this program will offer homestay accommodations.
Whether you’re interested in language, art, history, fashion, traditions, culture, or food, the 2023 Winter Session program in Siena, Tuscany, Italy, is your chance to experience all of the above.
The Program Fee includes housing, all group excursions, most meals, and international medical insurance.
The Program Fee does NOT include airfare or transportation to/from airports in the U.S. The program officially begins when students arrive in Siena. Students will receive detailed travel instructions after acceptance, explaining how and where to purchase their plane ticket. See the Cost section below for estimate airfare. For this program, students will be given recommended flight itineraries for traveling together. |
